The fulvous antbird (Frederickena fulva) is a monotypic species of antbird from the western Amazon in eastern Ecuador, south-eastern Colombia, north-eastern Peru, and possibly extreme western Brazil. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the undulated antshrike. Only the female is overall fulvous with dark barring; the male is black with whitish barring.
