The red-tailed thrush-like antbird is a medium-sized bird from the antbird family. It lives on the ground in dense forests and feeds on insects.
The red-tailed thrush-like antbird differs from related species by its bright red-brown tail and voice. It is important for the forest because it eats many insects and helps maintain natural balance.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
