Rufous-backed Antvireo

Dysithamnus xanthopterus

Least Concern

The Rufous-backed Antvireo is an antvireo of humid forests in Brazil. A small, compact antbird, it searches foliage and branches methodically for insects in the forest mid-storey. Fun fact: Despite the name, antvireos are antbirds, not vireos, and belong to a large New World tropical family.
