Feeding Habits
Dusky-tailed Antbird primarily consumes insects and likely spiders. It forages close to the ground, using short hops and probing vegetation. Dusky-tailed Antbird feeds alone or in groups, often in dense cover, and displays unique tail and wing movements while searching for prey.
Habitat
The habitat of dusky-tailed Antbird comprises the understory of evergreen forests, including both lowland and foothill regions, as well as forest edges and secondary woodlands. Dusky-tailed Antbird favors environments with dense vegetation such as tangles, thickets, bracken-ferns, vines, bamboo, and areas with tall grasses, particularly at forest edges. While not solely dependent on bamboo, dusky-tailed Antbird is known to inhabit young, regenerating clear-cuts dominated by dense bamboo and grass.
