ANTTHRUSHES   -   FORMICARIIDAE

Short-tailed Anthrush Chamaeza campanisona campanisona Serra de Baturité, Ceará state, Brazil. The only antthrush photo I have so far (but then, this is a typical view, isn't it?). This is one of an isolated population in northeastern Brazil, living in surprisingly dry forest, and having a slightly different song. (D3)

Black-faced Antthrush Formicarius analis zamorae Shiripuno Lodge, Orellana province, Ecuador. Antthrushes are a nightmare to photograph! (S4)

Black-faced (Mexican) Antthrush Formicarius analis monileger Las Guacamayas, Chiapas state, Mexico. I did a bit better with this one at least. This is usually, and more appropriately, considered a separate species, Mexican Antthrush. (S5)
