Colombian or Short-billed Antwren

Myrmotherula [ignota or obscura] (= Myrmotherula ignota) Griscom, L 1929

The moustached antwren is a species of small Neotropical bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It has two allopatric subspecies, both sometimes considered separate monotypic species: The Griscom's antwren is found the Chocó of north-western Ecuador, western Colombia and eastern Panama, and the short-billed antwren is found in the Amazon of north-eastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, south-eastern Colombia and north-western Brazil. The former has sometimes been considered conspecific with the pygmy antwren, but based on voices it has been recommended treating ignota and obscura as a subspecies of a single species. Both are found in the sub-canopy of humid lowland forests. Source: Wikipedia
