The East Amazonian fire-eye (Pyriglena leuconota) is an insectivorous bird in the antbird family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The East Amazonian fire-eye was described and illustrated by the German naturalist Johann Baptist von Spix in 1824 and given the binomial name Myothera leuconota.[2] The current genus Pyriglena was introduced by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis in 1847.[3]
