Black-and-white antbird, Napo river, Ecuador I'm conflicted to post the shot as it's so bad. On the other hand it's a rare bird and very hard to access. It typically occurs on river islands in Amazonia, hiding in dense vegetation.

    I'm glad you posted it! It documents the species and is a perfect photo to demonstrate how hard it is to spot in nature. Posted 3 years ago
