Yellow-breasted Antwren

Herpsilochmus axillaris

Least Concern

The Yellow-breasted Antwren is an antwren of humid forests in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. 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.
