Description

The Bolivian slaty antshrike (Thamnophilus sticturus) is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia (departments of Beni, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz), extreme southwest Brazil (the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul), and far northern Paraguay (Alto Paraguay department). It was previously included in the widespread slaty antshrike (T. punctatus), but following the split, this scientific name is now restricted to the northern slaty antshrike. It occurs at low levels in forest and woodland; especially in places with dense growth. The Bolivian slaty antshrike was described by the Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln in 1868 and given its current binomial name Thamnophilus sticturus.

Feeding Habits
Bolivian Slaty Antshrike's diet consists mainly of arthropods, foraging individually or in pairs. Usually found 1-7 m above ground, it hops and pauses to scan for prey, using quick bill stabs or sallies to glean food. A characteristic behavior includes tail shivering while foraging but does not join mixed-species flocks or follow army ants.
Habitat
The habitat of bolivian Slaty Antshrike consists of the understorey and mid-storey levels of dry semi-deciduous forests, characterized by extensive vine tangles. These birds are also found within the gallery forests in both open areas and as part of larger, more humid forest landscapes, as well as in areas of second-growth forest.
