The White-flanked Antwren looks somewhat similar to the Dot-winged Antwren but has lacks the broad white band on the wings and has an additional white patch on its flank.

It has a large range from Honduras to Brazil, seen here on the Plantation Road near the Canopy Lodge in central Panama.

Lovely bird!
