Tapajos Antpitta (Myrmothera subcanescens)
About the Tapajos Antpitta
The Tapajos antpitta (Myrmothera subcanescens) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The Tapajos antpitta was originally described in 1927 as a subspecies of the thrush-like antpitta (Myrmothera campanisona). Beginning in 2018 taxonomic systems recognized it as a separate species, though BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World did not do so until 2024. The Tapajos antpitta is monotypic.
