Feeding Habits
Rufous-tailed Antbird predominantly consumes insects and spiders, foraging alone from ground level up to 3 meters high, occasionally joining mixed-species flocks. They exhibit an active, zigzagging foraging pattern and specialize in perch-gleaning from foliage and bamboo, adept at probing for prey within leaves and stems.
Habitat
The rufous-tailed Antbird primarily inhabits the understory of bamboo thickets within montane evergreen forests. It is often found among dense foliage such as vine tangles adjacent to these thickets. The species shares its habitat with similar birds, occasionally coexisting in the same bamboo-rich environments.
