Clytoctantes
Clytoctantes is a South American genus of passerine birds in the antbird family, Thamnophilidae. Males are grey or black and females are mainly rufous. The stubby, hefty bill has a distinctly upcurved lower mandible and a straight culmen (a large version of the bills of the recurvebills), which possibly is a modification for opening bamboo stems in their search for insects. The two species were feared to be extinct or nearly so, until both were rediscovered in 2004.

gollark: But what if gibson was orchestrating the leaks to try and imply that it wasn't him by making the timing suspicious so that it looked like someone trying to show it was him?
gollark: It's the alt.
