The Large-billed Antwren is one of the 17 species in the genus Herpsilochmus (Antwrens). They have a fairly large range smack dab in the center of South America in Brazil and Bolivia. We had ours in Chapada dos Guimaraes, just north of the Pantanal in Brazil. This one is the female and it was moving quickly in the twigs making my sensor go crazy hence the in-focus twigs but out of focus bird. Many of these birds have a Least Concern status per IUCN but many times that is just the range being large. Certainly they are threatened by habitat loss.
