Template:Short description Template:Use American English
The white-lored antpitta or fulvous-bellied antpitta (Myrmothera fulviventris) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.[1]
Taxonomy and systematics
The white-lored antpitta was originally described in 1858 as Grallaria fulviventris.[2] It was later transferred to genus Hylopezus and still later to Myrmothera.[3][4]
The white-lored antpitta has two subspecies, the nominate M. f. fulviventris (Sclater, PL, 1858) and M. f. caquetae (Chapman, 1923).[1] What is now the thicket antpitta (M. dives) was previously a third subspecies of it, with the combined species called the "fulvous-bellied antpitta".[4]

Distribution and habitat
The white-lored antpitta is a bird of the far western Amazon Basin. The nominate subspecies is found in eastern Ecuador and northern Peru north of the Amazon and Marañón rivers. Subspecies M. f. caquetae is found adjoining the nominate's range in the southern Colombian departments of Putumayo and Caquetá. The species inhabits the edges of terra firme and várzea forest, riparian forest, and overgrown openings in the forest interior. It is almost exclusively found under and within very dense undergrowth. In elevation it occurs up to Script error: No such module "convert". in Colombia and to Script error: No such module "convert". in Ecuador.[5][6][7][8]Template:Overcite
Behavior
Movement
The white-lored antpitta is believed to be a year-round resident throughout its range.[5]
Feeding
The white-lored antpitta's diet has not been reported. It is usually seen singly as it forages while hopping and walking on the forest floor and downed logs.[5][7]
Breeding
Nothing is known about the white-lored antpitta's breeding biology.[5]
Vocalization
The male white-lored antpitta's song is "a short slow series of 3-4 abrupt and hollow notes, e.g. 'kwoh-kwoh-kwoh-kwoh' ". It also "gives a faster and accelerating series of shorter notes, 'kow-kow-kow-kow-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko' ".[7] The white-lored antpitta sings throughout the day, usually from a perch within Script error: No such module "convert". of the ground.[5]
Status
The IUCN has assessed the white-lored antpitta as being of Least Concern. Its population size is not known and is believed to be stable. No immediate threats have been identified.[9] It is considered "uncommon and seemingly local" in Colombia, "uncommon" in Ecuador, and "uncommon and local" in Peru.[6][7][8] It is known from at least three protected areas.[5]
