Description
The yellow-browed antbird (Hypocnemis hypoxantha) is a species of bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. The yellow-browed antbird was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1869 and given its current binomial name Hypocnemis hypoxantha. The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek hupo meaning "beneath" and xanthos meaning "yellow". Two subspecies are recognised: H. h. hypoxantha Sclater, PL, 1869 – southeast Colombia to east Ecuador, central Peru and west Amazonian Brazil H. h. ochraceiventris Chapman, 1921 – southeast Amazonian Brazil

Habitat
Yellow-browed Antbird typically inhabits the understory and midstory layers of terra firme forests, which are characterized by firm, non-flooded ground. These birds are also found in older secondary forests that have likely reverted from previously cleared areas, such as abandoned gardens. Yellow-browed Antbird predominantly occupies the interiors of these mature forests within broader tropical regions.
