Creamy-bellied Antwren (Herpsilochmus motacilloides)
About the Creamy-bellied Antwren
The creamy-bellied antwren (Herpsilochmus motacilloides) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Peru. For much of the twentieth century the creamy-bellied antwren was treated as a subspecies of the Bahia antwren (Herpsilochmus pileatus), though at least one study suggested that it was a species. In the early twenty-first century, phylogenetic and other analyses confirmed that it is a species. The creamy-bellied antwren and the ash-throated antwren (H. parkeri) are sister species. The creamy-bellied antwren is monotypic.
