The Red-fronted Antpecker is a small bird that searches for ants in low forest-edge growth. Males have a red forehead, while females have a spotted underside.
The male has a red forehead and cinnamon-colored underparts. The female lacks the red forehead and has a spotted underside. Juveniles resemble males but lack the red forehead.
At forest edges and in low growth near the ground, it searches among leaves for ants and their young. It may forage in pairs, small groups, or mixed flocks.
