Bicolored Antbird

Gymnopithys bicolor

Least Concern

The Bicolored Antbird is an antbird of humid forests in Panama, Costa Rica, and Colombia. It forages in dense forest undergrowth, taking insects and other small invertebrates, and usually stays close to cover. Fun fact: Despite their name, most antbirds do not eat ants; they are named for following army-ant swarms to catch the insects the ants flush out.
