Myrmeciza laemosticta (Dull-mantled Antbird)

Synonyms: Sipia laemosticta (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The dull-mantled antbird is a perching bird species in the antbird family (Thamnophilidae). Its scientific name is Myrmeciza laemosticta, but as it does not seem to be closely related to the white-bellied antbird (M. longipes) – the type species of the highly paraphyletic "wastebin genus" Myrmeciza – it is liable to be assigned to a different genus in the near future.
