Chestnut-tailed Antbird

Brown antwren with reddish tail and wings. Head is gray in both sexes, fading into a warmer brown lower body. Cream wingbars. Slightly longer tailed than similar antwrens and typically forages higher in the midstory. Often joins mixed-species flocks with other antwrens and antshrikes. Listen for its song: a steady series of high, rising “pseet” notes.

Well-named, plain gray with black wings and dark mask. Iridescent blue-purple shoulder is usually not visible. Most similar to Palm Tanager but grayer (not olive) without pale patch at base of primaries. Also could be confused with Blue-gray Tanager in poor light, but Plain-colored's dark wings are more contrasting. Sexes alike. Seen in pairs or small flocks in open woody habitats like forest edges or shrubby second growth.

Large-billed antbird. Males are gray with white-spotted wings, and females are rusty-colored with gray sides to the head and buff-spotted wings. Occurs in humid forest with an open understory, where it forages at lower levels and on the ground, often in areas with large boulders covered with mosses and ferns; does not accompany mixed-species flocks. The song is a loud, descending series of notes that accelerate slightly at the end.
