La Rompida

3.97144 , -67.97722

Colombia

This is the site for the “Unnamed Antshrike”. Discovered only in 2007 and photographed by Pablo Florez in 2016, in the latest field guide, the Lynx guide, this bird is literally still called the “Unnamed Antshrike”. Thamnophilus sp. could be a separate and isolated population of the Chestnut-backed Antshrike (which lives more than a thousand kilometres away on the south bank of the Amazon in Brazil), as was initially thought, could also be a separate subspecies of it, but it is most likely to be a new species.
