Feeding Habits
Dot-backed Antbird forages close to the ground for insects and spiders, moving by hops or flights in dense cover. Prefers horizontally inclined perches, sallying to snatch prey from surfaces or air, occasionally following army ants for food.
Habitat
The dot-backed Antbird typically resides in the understory of flooded evergreen forests, favoring regions adjacent to black-water streams and rivers. They are prevalent along the fringes of oxbow lakes and in transitional forests surrounding ephemeral streams with dense clusters of Heliconia and similar broad-leaved herbs.
