Band-tailed Antwren
Myrmotherula urosticta
VulnerableThe Band-tailed Antwren is an antwren of humid forests in Brazil. A tiny, restless antbird, it gleans small insects from leaves and twigs, frequently joining mixed-species foraging flocks. Classified as Vulnerable, it is threatened mainly by the clearing and fragmentation of its forest habitat. Fun fact: Antwrens are not related to true wrens; the name reflects their small size and busy, wren-like foraging.
