    1. Haha yes it's quite an odd antshrike, behaving (and looking) more like a foliage gleaner! Posted 4 years ago

The rufescent antshrike is a passerine bird in the antbird family. It is a resident breeder in the tropical New World from eastern Peru to western Bolivia. It was considered a subspecies of the russet antshrike, but was split in 2018 due to vocal and plumage differences.
