| Myrmeciza immaculata (Lafresnaye, 1845) |
The Immaculate Antbird (Myrmeciza immaculata) is a species of antbird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela, and possibly Honduras. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The species feeds on insects, and regularly follows swarms of army ants in order to catch prey flushed by the swarms, but it is not an obligate ant-follower like some species of antbird
