Ferruginous-backed Antbird (Myrmoderus ferrugineus)
About the Ferruginous-backed Antbird
The ferruginous-backed antbird (Myrmoderus ferrugineus) is a species of passerine bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil, French Guyana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. The ferruginous-backed antbird was formerly included in the genus Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic. In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, four species including the ferruginous-backed antbird were moved to the resurrected genus Myrmoderus. The ferruginous-backed antbird has two subspecies, the nominate M. f. ferrugineus (Statius Müller, PL, 1776) and M. f. elutus (Zimmer, J.T., 1927).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 85 recordings for this species: 31 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.
