Taxonomy

Habitat

The caura antbird typical habitat are mountainous open rainforest slopes with large boulders, often in steep terrain, at altitudes between 250 and 400m. They may also be seen at the borders of the forest, specially alongside mountain streams. The species seems to be very intolerant of other habitats, apparently never been recorded in areas of lowland rainforest, for instance. Due to these habitat requirements, the species is usually located at the slopes of the tepuis (table-top mountains) of the Guianan Plateau.
