About the Sincora Antwren
The Sincora antwren (Formicivora grantsaui) is a small, Vulnerable species of passerine bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to a small area of eastern Brazil. The Sincora antwren was first described in 2007 from specimens collected near the small town of Mucugê in the state of Bahia, eastern Brazil.

Coincidentally, another species was also described from the same region in 2007, the Diamantina tapaculo (Scytalopus diamantinensis). The Sincora antwren is monotypic.
