Jet Antbird (Cercomacra nigricans)
About the Jet Antbird
The jet antbird (Cercomacra nigricans) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. The jet antbird was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1858 and given its current binomial name Cercomacra nigricans. A 2014 study confirmed what had been earlier suggested, that the jet antbird and the Mato Grosso (C. melanaria), Rio Branco (C. carbonaria), and Bananal (C. ferdinandi) antbirds form a clade within genus Cercomacra. The jet antbird is monotypic.
