- Myrmeciza immaculata
Identification
Length 18.5cm (7.25in.). Male is black with bare, pale blue skin around eye. Has small white mark on shoulders, but this is often hidden. Female similar, but overall brown with darker tail. Rather unmistakable as the only Myrmeciza in its range.
Distribution
Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela, and possibly Honduras.
Taxonomy
Habitat
Undergrowth of humid forest and woodland on western slope of Andes, mostly below 1400m.
Behaviour
Shy and seldom seen on dark forest floors, where it forages for insects. Will follow ant swarms.
