Agitated response to playback (to 'song' on John Moore recordings); part of a group of antbirds attending an unseen ant swarm. This was an adult that circled us a couple of times, remaining about <2m in terra firme forest near a lower, wetter area (where the ants appeared to be). Also attending the swarm was Phlegopsis nigromaculata and Gymnopithys leucaspis. Both the 'tchew!' and the 'heeer' are from the Pithys. Just as a mist was falling from a very overcast sky.
