Schwartz's antthrush (Chamaeza turdina), also known as the scalloped antthrush, is a species of bird in the family Formicariidae. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela. Schwartz's antthrush was long treated as a subspecies of the rufous-tailed antthrush (C. ruficauda). Their differences were not fully recognized until 1992 when their songs were analyzed in detail.
The species' English name honors ornithologist Paul A. Schwartz, who was the first to realize how strikingly different its song sounds compared to that of the rufous-tailed antthrush. Schwartz's antthrush is 19 to 19.5 cm (7.5 to 7.7 in) long. The sexes are alike. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a slightly rufescent olive-brown crown. They have white lores, a short white streak through their eye, and a whitish streak on the side of their neck. Their upperparts and wings are mostly medium olive-brown with a slightly more rufescent rump. Their tail is dusky brown. Their throat is white with small blackish spots that look like a stripe.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Schwartz's Antthrush sighting in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, based on 118 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 74th most-seen of the 358 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Schwartz's Antthrush in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October, the lowest month.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Schwartz's Antthrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Henri Pittier National Park, in our data
Henri Pittier National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Schwartz's Antthrush sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Schwartz's Antthrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Henri Pittier National Park (118 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
