White-plumed antbird : ウィキペディア英語版 | White-plumed antbird
The white-plumed antbird (''Pithys albifrons'') is a small species of insectivorous bird found in the understories of rainforests.〔 It is smaller than most species of its family (Thamnophilidae), weighing 26 grams on average. The family Thamnophilidae is known commonly as the antbirds, as they use the presence of ants (army ants in particular) to locate food. This species is largely solitary except during the breeding season, and different individuals will follow individual ant swarms. ==Taxonomy== There are three subspecies of the white-plumed antbird: ''Pithys alifrons ssp. albifrons'', ''P. albifrons ssp. peruvianus'' and ''P. albifrons brevibarba''. It is most closely related to the white-masked antbird (''P. castaneus''). The most closely related genus is ''Phaenostictus'', the members of which they may resemble from a distance. The genera may be distuinguished by smaller length and weight, shorter tails and louder songs in ''Pithys'' spp. than ''Phaenostictus'' spp.〔
