The Lined Forest Falcon (Micrastur gilvicollis) is a species of bird of prey in the Falconidae family. It is endemic to humid forest in the western and northern Amazon Basin. Populations found in the south-eastern Amazon Basin (south of the Amazon River and east of the Madeira River) were formerly included in this species, but were described as a new species, the Cryptic Forest Falcon, in 2003. Together with the Plumbeous Forest Falcon of the Chocó, they are an example of a cryptic species complex. While adults of all three species have the deep orange-red facial skin and cere that separates them from the sympatric Barred Forest Falcon, only the Lined Forest Falcon has two white bars in the tail (in addition to a narrow white tail-tip).
