Streak-headed Antbird

The streak-headed antbird is 14.5 to 15.5 cm (5.7 to 6.1 in) long and weighs 11 to 13 g (0.39 to 0.46 oz). Adult males have a black crown and back with white streaks and a white patch between the scapulars. Their rump is deep rufous. Their flight feathers are black with rufous edges and their wing coverts black with white tips. Their tail is blackish gray with white tips to the feathers. Their face, throat, and breast are white with heavy black streaks. Their belly is unstreaked white and their flanks and crissum are rufous. Females have the same pattern but different colors than males. Voice: The male streak-headed antbird's song is "a loud tchip! tchip! djzzew-djzzew-djzzed-djzew" that the female often answers with a "descending, less buzzy tchip tchip tew-tew-tew". Its calls include "a sharp, ringing pi-pit! and a paired series of descending mewing whistles: dew-dew".
