| This photo shows the sub-species D. d. subochracea which is found to the east of the Madeira river and is
more rufous-buff on the underparts than the nominate sub-species found to the west of the Madeira. It is thought that this might be afforded species
status with the English name Xingu Antbird but, at the time of writing (March 2007), most authorities still include it as a sub-species of Striated
Antbird.
There is also a subtle difference in vocalisation between the two sub-species which you can hear on xeno-canto. |
