Whittaker's Antbird (Hylopezus whittakeri) is a medium-sized bird found in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil and Peru. It is known for its distinctive vocalizations and secretive behavior, often foraging on or near the forest floor. This species has a brownish plumage with a reddish-brown crown and a distinctive white throat patch. It primarily feeds on insects and small invertebrates, using its strong bill to probe through leaf litter in search of prey.
