The White-plumed Antbird (Pithys albifrons) can be found across the lowlands of northern Amazonia, including Venezuela and the Guianas. It has a chestnut body and tail, gray back and wings, a gray head and face with elaborate white plumes above its head. The White-plumed Antbird is an insectivore that eats insects, arthropods and at times lizards that army ants flush out from the leaf litter on the forest floor.
