Description
The white-streaked antvireo or white-spotted antvireo (Dysithamnus leucostictus) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The white-streaked antvireo was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1858 and given the binomial name Dysithamnus leucostictus. The specific name is from the Ancient Greek leukos "white" and stiktos "spotted". There are two recognised subspecies: D. l. tucuyensis Hartert, 1894 – north Venezuela D. l. leucostictus Sclater, PL, 1858 – east Colombia to north Peru The coastal Venezuelan race is sometimes given specific status as the Venezuelan antvireo (Dysithamnus tucuyensis).

Feeding Habits
White-streaked Antvireo consumes a variety of insects and arthropods, often foraging in pairs within mixed-species understorey flocks. Typically found 1.5-4m above the ground, white-streaked Antvireo actively changes perches and uses upward sallies and ground-pouncing to capture prey, preferring leafy and vine-rich layers.
Habitat
The white-streaked Antvireo primarily resides in the understorey of montane evergreen forests within broader tropical regions of South America. These habitats are known for their dense vegetation and provide a complex environment for foraging and nesting. Consistent with the habitat preferences, white-streaked Antvireo is adapted to flourishing in areas with ample cover and rich biodiversity.
