POWERED BY MERLIN

Attractive antbird restricted to arid Andean slopes in southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru. Male is gray and white with a barred breast, back, and tail, streaked face and throat, black crest, and buffy belly. Female is brown and buff with a darker crest, black-and-white streaked face, and very faint barring on the breast. No overlap with the similar Barred Antshrike. Inhabits dry forest and scrub. Jaunty song starts with a fast series of clucks and ends with a few higher-pitched notes followed by lower-pitched notes.
