Spotted Antbird (Hylophylax naevioides)
About the Spotted Antbird
The spotted antbird (Hylophylax naevioides) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The spotted antbird was described by Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1847 as Conopophago naeivoides ("spotted gnateater") and later transferred to genus Hylophylax that had been erected in 1909 by Robert Ridgway. It shares the genus with the spot-backed antbird (H. naevius) and dot-backed antbird (H. punctulatus). It and the spot-backed antbird have been treated as sister species. The spotted antbird has two subspecies, the nominate H. n. naevioides (Lafresnaye, 1847) and H. n. capnitis (Bangs, 1906).
