Feeding Habits
Lined Antshrike consumes primarily insects and arthropods, foraging alone or in pairs within dense vegetation up to 10m high. It employs short hops and scanning pauses for prey, gleaning from various surfaces with quick bill stabs, avoiding mixed-species flocks.
Habitat
The lined Antshrike is typically found in the understory and mid-story of humid evergreen forests, particularly at the edges where vegetation is dense and tangled. Their preferred environments extend to shrubby areas undergoing regeneration, plantations, clearings, and the peripheries of parks and gardens in broader tropical regions.
