Rufous-faced Antbird

Myrmelastes rufifacies

Least Concern

The Rufous-faced Antbird is an antbird of humid forests in Brazil. 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.
