The streak-headed antbird (Drymophila striaticeps) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The streak-headed antbird and two other antbird species were previously considered subspecies of what was then called the long-tailed antbird (D. caudata); the reduced D. caudata is now called the East Andean antbird.
The streak-headed antbird's further taxonomy is unsettled. The International Ornithological Committee (IOC) and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) treat it as monotypic, with no subspecies. The Clements taxonomy splits it into four subspecies on the basis of a 2012 study. The study's authors do caution that further research is needed. Before the split of the long-tailed antbird, all four of them were treated as separate subspecies of it, but the IOC and HBW combined them into the monotypic streak-headed antbird.
This article follows the no-subspecies model. The streak-headed antbird is 14.5 to 15.5 cm (5.7 to 6.1 in) long and weighs 11 to 13 g (0.39 to 0.46 oz). Adult males have a black crown... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Streak-headed Antbird sighting in Los Nevados National Natural Park on a given day, based on 104 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 227th most-seen of the 424 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Streak-headed Antbird in Los Nevados National Natural Park on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Streak-headed Antbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Streak-headed Antbird sightings, Los Nevados National Natural Park has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Farallones de Cali National Natural Park (Colombia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Streak-headed Antbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Los Nevados National Natural Park (104 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.
