White-shouldered Antshrike (Thamnophilus aethiops)

Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemilln, Sector Paujil

Out of at least 5 species of antshrikes that occur in that sector, this is probably the most shy. They stick to dense undergrowth, don't vocalize much and I never saw them with mixed flocks. But I finally lucked out one morning and managed to lure a male out with a bit of playback. Definitely the best views I've ever gotten of that species!
