Alagoas Foliage-gleaner

Philydor novaesi

Extinct

The Alagoas Foliage-gleaner is a foliage-gleaner of humid forests in Brazil. It searches foliage, vine tangles, and dead-leaf clusters for insects, often joining mixed-species flocks. It is now considered extinct, with no reliable recent records, following the loss of its forest habitat. Fun fact: The family is named for the horneros, which build sturdy oven-shaped nests out of mud.
