Description
The streak-headed antbird (Drymophila striaticeps) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in humid highland forests, especially near bamboo, ranging through the Andes from Bolivia to Colombia. This 15 cm (6 in) bird is found at higher elevations. It was previously considered conspecific with the long-tailed antbird.

Feeding Habits
Streak-headed Antbird consumes a diet primarily consisting of insects and potentially spiders, including lepidopteran larvae and beetles. It forages actively, often with a partner or group, between 1–15 m above ground, navigating primarily through bamboo and dense vegetation by hopping and scanning for prey. Unique methods include perch-gleaning, jump-gleaning, and fluttering sallies to pluck food mainly from the undersides of leaves and stems.
Habitat
The streak-headed Antbird predominantly inhabits understorey and midstorey regions within montane evergreen forests and secondary forests, often associating with bamboo thickets, which can encompass both native and non-native Asian species. Additionally, the streak-headed Antbird can be found in areas with dense vine tangles, shrubby forest edges, and overgrown coffee plantations. While not exclusively dependent on bamboo habitats, the streak-headed Antbird shows a preference for such environments over others.
