White-backed fire-eye

The white-backed fire-eye (Pyriglena leuconota) is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The white-backed fire-eye was described and illustrated by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix in 1824 and given the binomial nameMyothera leuconota.[2] The current genus Pyriglena was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847.[3] There are ten recognised subspecies.[4] A study published in 2017 recommended that the white-backed fire-eye should be spit into three separate species.[5][6]
