About the Yellow-browed Antbird
The yellow-browed antbird, or yellow-browed antwarbler, (Hypocnemis hypoxantha) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The yellow-browed antbird was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1869 and given its current binomial name Hypocnemis hypoxantha. The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek hupo meaning "beneath" and xanthos meaning "yellow". The yellow-browed antbird is the only species of genus Hypocnemis that was not formerly a member of the warbling antbird (H. cantator sensu lato) complex, and it might be more closely related to some members of genus Drymophila than to the other Hypocnemis species.
The yellow-browed antbird has two subspecies, the nominate H. h. hypoxantha (Sclater, PL, 1869) and H. h. ochraceiventris (Chapman, 1921) The yellow-browed antbird is 11 to 13 cm (4.3 to 5.1 in) long and weighs 10 to 13 g (0.35 to 0.46 oz). Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a black crown with white spots down its center. They have a bright lemon yellow supercilium and ear coverts, a black line... Wikipedia →
