Spot-backed Antwren

Herpsilochmus dorsimaculatus

Least Concern

The Spot-backed Antwren is an antwren of humid forests in Brazil and Colombia. A tiny, restless antbird, it gleans small insects from leaves and twigs, frequently joining mixed-species foraging flocks. Fun fact: Antwrens are not related to true wrens; the name reflects their small size and busy, wren-like foraging.
