1201. Common Scale-backed Antbird  ______  
      Willisornis (formerly Hylophylax) poecilinota  (5 subspecies in Brazil)
      
      Outside Brazil, the Common Scale-backed Antbird has been found during FONT tours in Ecuador. 
      
      The Common Scale-backed Antbird is a widespread Amazonian species. In all, 7 subspecies have been recognized, most readily distinguished by plumage, especially in females.
      
      Scale-backed Antbirds (above & below) are primarily ant-following species. They were formerly placed in HYLOPHYLAX, a genus that does not include obligate ant-followers.
      E. O. Willis noted that Scale-backed Antbirds neither look nor behave like others in HYLOPHYLAX. Later, when molecular data was examined, they were put in their own genus, named after Willis.
      
      During a recent study of vocalizations of Scale-backed Antbirds, across the wide range of the species, it was found that two subspecies, W. p. vidua & W. p. nigrigula, of southeastern Amazonia have diagnostic differences from the others.
      Thus, those two subspecies should be split from the Common Scale-backed Antbird to be the Xingu Antbird (below). 
      The common name is from the river that flows through much of the bird's range (all in Brazil).
      
      By another Brazilian river, the Rio Teles Pires, at the Rio Cristalino Lodge, near Alta Floresta, it is the new Brazilian endemic species, the Xingu Antbird, that is found on the east side of the river.

      Outside Brazil, the Variegated Antpitta has been found during FONT tours in Argentina.
      
      
      
      It's usually not easy to see an antpitta.
      In these 2 photographs (above & below), there's a female Variegated Antpitta
      on its nest in the crotch of a tree, in southeastern Brazil.
      During a FONT Brazil Tour in October 2001, as we were walking along a trail in a section of Atlantic Forest, 
      we found this bird at eye-level (ours & its), as it was sitting on its nest.
      We stood still and enjoyed the rare sight, and in particular the large antpitta with its big dark eyes.
      In these pictures, the antpitta is looking right at us, with those eyes on each side of the white on its face.
      As we walked away, the bird temporarily left its nest.We looked, before we left, at its blue eggs.
