bird in theThamnophilidae family. Until recently, it included the Roraiman, Humaita, Brownish-headed andRufous-faced Antbird assubspecies , but based on differences in voice andplumage it has been recommended treating them as separate species. As presently defined, the Spot-winged Antbird includes the subspecies "infuscata", "subplumbea" and "intensa".It is found in humid forest in the Amazon north of the
Amazon River , and in the far western Amazon and adjacent lower eastAndean slopes. Its conservation status has not been assessed following the split into several species, but while it generally is uncommon, it is unlikely to be threatened.References
