Plain Antvireo (Dysithamnus mentalis) - 09Aug2022

The Antvireo genus (Dysithamnus) contains 8 species and the Plain Antvireo has an additional 18 sub-species!  As you can imagine with so many sub-species this bird has a huge range.  This little gal was seen in the Atlantic Forest near Sao Paulo.  The species is sexually dimorphic with the females more olive and refuse and the males more sooty looking.
