Cercomacra fuscicauda

The riparian antbird (Cercomacroides fuscicauda) is a species of passerine bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, northern Bolivia and southwestern Amazonian Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and adjacent thickets on sandbars and riverbanks.

The riparian antbird used to be considered conspecific with the blackish antbird but the two taxa were split based their different vocalization. [2] [3] [4] The riparian antbird was formerly included in the genus Cercomacra . A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Cercomacra, as then defined, was polyphyletic. The genus was split to create two monophyletic genera and six species including the riparian antbird were moved to the newly erected genus Cercomacroides . [5] [4]

The fire-eyes are 16–18 cm in length, weigh 25-36 g and have characteristic red eyes that give them their name. They have sexually dimorphic plumage, with the females possessing brown to buff coloured bodies with black tails, and the males being black with small patches of white on the back or wings. The fire-eyes eat a variety of insects, and will regularly follow army ants in order to catch prey flushed by them. Two of the fire-eyes are widespread and safe, but one species, the fringe-backed fire-eye, is threatened with extinction.
