About the Black-hooded Antwren

The black-hooded antwren (Formicivora erythronotos) is an Endangered Species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Brazil. The black-hooded antwren was originally described as Formicivora erythronotos. During much of the 20th century it was placed in genus Myrmotherula but by around the year 2000 it was returned to Formicivora on the basis of a morphological and vocal study. The black-hooded antwren is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 58 recordings for this species: 47 CC BY-NC-SA · 11 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
