Living up to its scientific name, this is indeed a strange bird, and the only member of its genus. It's a rare and local inhabitant of wet ravines inside foothill rainforest in eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia. It was the only genus of antbird that I had not yet seen, and definitely one of the most difficult birds I've ever managed to photograph. I had to scramble down a very steep slope following the distant song, and once I found it, it was so dark it was hard to focus on. The shot is is not tack sharp, but still possibly the best photograph that currently exists of the species.
