Stripe chested Antwren
Myrmotherula longicauda
Rainforest
Stripe chested Antwren belongs to the Thamnophilidae family. Small, streaky antbird of humid forest along the east slope of the Andes; also found in lowlands away from the mountains in a few areas. Male is boldly striped with black and white. Female is black and tan with a similar stripy pattern but has plainer underparts. Inhabits dense vegetation at forest edge or overgrown clearings. Song is an excited series of doubled notes: “hiccup, hiccup, hiccup…” You can find it in our tours in the Manu National Park.
