Description
Description
The yellow-breasted warbling antbird (Hypocnemis subflava) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of Hypocnemis cantator, but based on vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences in plumages it has been recommended treating them as separate species. As presently defined, the yellow-breasted warbling antbird includes a single subspecies, collinsi. The yellow-breasted warbling antbird was described by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1873 and given its current binomial name Hypocnemis subflava. The yellow-breasted warbling antbird is found at lower levels in humid forest, especially in association with bamboo, in south-eastern Peru, northern Bolivia and south-western Brazil (Acre). It is locally sympatric with the Peruvian warbling antbird. Its conservation status has not been assessed by BirdLife International, but as it generally is fairly common, it is unlikely to be threatened. 
Feeding Habits
Yellow-breasted Warbling Antbird consumes butterflies, crickets, caterpillars, beetles, and spiders, foraging on live and bamboo leaves or dead leaves, with a preference for river-edge forests. Their foraging occurs marginally lower to the ground compared to transitional forests.
Habitat
The yellow-breasted Warbling Antbird typically resides in the understory to midstory of humid evergreen forests, favoring areas with dense vegetation near forest gaps, such as those caused by fallen trees, and around streams within the forest. It also inhabits adjacent tall second-growth woodlands. This species has a penchant for areas with Guadua bamboo, particularly in regions where bamboo and shorter trees dominate transitional forests. However, river-edge forests harbor a higher abundance of yellow-breasted Warbling Antbird compared to transitional forests. The yellow-breasted Warbling Antbird has adapted to varying local microhabitats but avoids terra firme forests in areas where it coexists with other species within its complex.
