Immaculate Antbird

The Immaculate Antbird is a species of antbird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela, and possibly Honduras. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The species feeds on insects, and regularly follows swarms of army ants in order to catch prey flushed by the swarms, but it is not an obligate ant-follower like some species of antbird

heard Immaculate Antbird singing and again we saw a Chesnut-mandibled Toucan well. We had good looks at a White-breasted Wood-Wren of the subspecies inornata which responded well to its own song. Several Crested Guan were calling from nearby. At a certain spot we heard an insect-like call from the midstory. When we located the tiny bird it turned out to be a Golden-crowned Spadebill. More
