Note pale eye in west part of range, and red eye further east (Guyanas, east Brazil). Female jensoni race greyer and found in NE Peru (HBW) but also recorded in Leticia, Colombia and thus could be in northwest Brazil. Other females uniformly rufous. Follows ant swarms. Red-eyed races are sometimes called Hellmayr's Antbird. |
Closely related to [Blue-lored Antbird] found in the Andes. Once both were called the Immaculate Antbird. Generally a lowland species, but can occur up to 1500m in the western Andes. |
