Myrmornithinae is a subfamily of antbirds in the family Thamnophilidae.
Description
In the Russet Antshrike, the sexes are the same, with brownish plumage and fairly stout bill; it is unusual among the antshrikes in that the sexes are alike, males lack grey or black.[1] The Spot-winged Antshrike resembles a Thamnophilus antbird with disproportionately short tail and long bill.[1] Wing-banded Antbird is an oddly proportioned, chunky antbird with short legs, stubby tail and long bill.[1]
Behaviour
Wing-banded is mainly terrestrial, shuffling about inside humid lowland forests.[1] Russet in arboreal antshrike mainly in forests on Andean slopes,[1] inhabits canopy and sub-canopy of montane and lowland forest and secondary growth.[2] Spot-winged is a canopy-inhabiting antshrike found widely in Amazonia.[1]
