Description
The Guianan streaked antwren is 9 to 10.5 cm (3.5 to 4.1 in) long and weighs 7.5 to 9 g (0.26 to 0.32 oz). It is a smallish bird with a tiny tail. Adult males have a black and white streaked face. Their crown, back, and rump are black with thin white streaks. They have a large white patch between the shoulders. Their tail is black with white edges and tips to the feathers. Their wings are black with white tips on the
Distribution and habitat
The Guianan streaked antwren is found from extreme eastern Colombia east through southern Venezuela and the Guianas and northern Brazil. It occurs only north and east of the Rio Negro and the Amazon River. It inhabits the understorey and mid-storey of lowland evergreen forest (primarily várzea and igapó) and shrubby secondary forest. It occurs almost entirely near water, in thickets and vine tangles by rivers, streams, and ponds, and in French Guiana also in mangroves. It occasionally is found in large clearings and shrubby forest borders away from water. In elevation it ranges from sea level to 450 m (1,500 ft).[12][13][15]

Breeding
The Guianan streaked antwren's breeding season has not been defined, though active nests have been seen between August and October and dependent young in February. One nest in French Guiana was covered with moss; it was on a branch about 1 m (3 ft) above water and contained two eggs.[12]
Vocalization
The Guianan streaked antwren's song is a "short, sharp, level trill 'd-rrrrr', 'd-' slightly lower".[13] Its calls include a "slightly downslurred, complaining note, often given in doublet", a "short rattle", and a "single, abrupt 'chit' ".[12]
