Epinecrophylla fulviventris (Checker-throated Antwren)

Synonyms: Myrmotherula fulviventris

Wikipedia Abstract

The checker-throated antwren or fulvous-bellied antwren (Epinecrophylla fulviventris) is a small passerine bird in the antbird family. It has traditionally been placed in the genus Myrmotherula, but is, together with other members of the so-called "stipple-throated group", now placed in the new genus Epinecrophylla. This is supported by molecular work, behavior, voice and morphology. Now treated as monotypic, it includes the former subspecies E. f. costaricensis and E. f. salmoni.
