The Russet Antshrike is found from Mexico all the way down to Peru in lowland and montane forests. Within this vast range there are 6 sub-species with varying degrees of differences in plumage. These photographs were taken on my second trip to Colombia. As with most Antshrikes they skulk in the undergrowth and you need to be quick if you want a pic. Depending on the authority, this genus (Thamnistes) has either one or two species in it with the Rufescent Antshrike sometimes being split from the Russet in Peru.
