White-bellied Antpitta Grallaria hypoleuca
Version: 1.0 — Published March 2, 2012
Behavior
Introduction
Very little information. Forages on or very near the ground in dense understory, as do other species of Grallaria. Moves by running or hopping. Almost always concealed in dense vegetation, where difficult to observe (Hilty and Brown 1986, Ridgely and Greenfield 2001b, Krabbe and Schulenberg 2003, Schulenberg et al. 2007). May prefer to forage in areas freshly disturbed by other species: White-bellied Antpittas have been observed attending army ant swarms, following humans through the forest, and foraging in recently disturbed soil near humans (Greeney 2012).
Sings from a perch within 2 m of the ground (Krabbe and Schulenberg 2003).
Territoriality
No information.
Sexual Behavior
Presumably socially monogamous.
Social and interspecific behavior
Like other species of Grallaria, the White-bellied Antpitta usually is solitary.
Predation
No instances reported of predation on White-bellied Antpitta?
