The Pale-faced bare-eye (Phlegopsis borbae), sometimes known as the pale-faced antbird, is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It has often been placed in the monotypic genus Skutchia, but based on genetic evidence this genus is now merged with Phlegopsis,[2] and this treatment was adopted by the SACC in 2010.[3] It is endemic to humid forest in the south-central Amazon in Brazil . It is an obligate ant-follower only rarely seen away from ant swarms.[2]
