Photo of a Black-headed Antbird made by J.S. Dunning of a female. Then three photos of a male (grey with black on its head and on its chin and some white fringes on its shoulders), made by Carl Beel and Ward Vercruysse on the Brownsberg in 2009 and the third one by Brian O'Shea in the Ralleigh Falls nature reserve in December 2003. They are often found low in the forest, especially on the Brownsberg. A recording of the sound of the black-headed antbird was made by Otte Ottema te Onverwacht in 2005 and a sound of this antbird was recorded by Jan Hein Ribot on the Brownsberg in 2006.
Each small square indicates the observation of at least one (group) of these birds in Surinam, the medium ones at least 4 observations on different days and the largest ones 10 or more. The color of each square indicates: blue for coastal area, yellow for savanna and red for rainforest.
