Reddish-winged bare-eye

The reddish-winged bare-eye (Phlegopsis erythroptera) is a species of insectivorous passerine bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.

The reddish-winged bare-eye is 17 to 18.5 cm (6.7 to 7.3 in) long and weighs 50 to 58 g (1.8 to 2.0 oz). Both sexes have a large ring of bare red skin around the eye. Adult males of the nominate subspecies are mostly black. They have white edges on the feathers of their upperparts and lesser wing coverts. Their median and greater wing coverts have wide rufous tips and their flight feathers have rufous bases. The tips of their uppertail coverts are dark reddish brown. Adult females have a very dark reddish brown crown, upperparts, and wing coverts with white tips on the coverts. Their flight feathers are blackish brown with white tips on the tertials; their tail is blackish brown with a pale band across it. The center of their throat is tawny-tinged white. Their face to the center of their belly are rufous and their flanks and vent area are rufous-brown. Subadult males have the same pattern as adults but are grayer and have a rufous tinge. The feathers of their back have wide cinnamon-rufous edges; their greater wing coverts and the bases of their flight feathers are also cinnamon-rufous. Males of subspecies P. e. ustulata have completely black uppertail coverts but are otherwise like the nominate. Females have pale buff tips on their wing coverts.
