Checker-throated Antwren
Myrmotherula fulviventris
Native Range:
Latin America
Notes:
antwrens get their name from the fact that they they look quite like wrens (Troglodytidae) and sometimes follow ant columns when foraging; this species is particularly drab-plumaged with the male being only slightly less drab (and having a grey-checkered throat) that the plainer-brown female.
