Introduction
Collared Antshrike primarily occurs in the Tumbesian region of western Ecuador and northwestern Peru, and also "spills over" into the lower Marañón Valley. This antshrike principally (but not exclusively) inhabits the understory of tropical deciduous woodlands (a highly threatened habitat type) where it usually is found alone, or in pairs, and sometimes follows mixed species foraging flocks. This species feeds largely on insects and spiders, but has also been observed being mobbed by hummingbirds and seedeaters, which has led to the suggestion that Collared Antshrike might predate the eggs and nestlings of small birds. Two subspecies are recognized, which differ both in plumage and in vocalizations.
