It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. == Taxonomy and systematics == The ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner was previously included in genus Philydor but a 2011 paper made it plain that it did not belong there. The same paper found the white-browed foliage-gleaner (A. amaurotis) and the ochre-breasted to be sister species.

It is a medium-sized furnariid with a wedge-shaped bill that is the shortest in its genus. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have an ochraceous eye ring and sharply defined supercilium, a dark brownish band behind the eye, dull rufous-ochre ear coverts, and pale brownish lores. Their crown is dull gray-brown with vague paler streaks, their back rufescent brown, and their rump and uppertail coverts a slightly lighter rufescent brown. Their tail is mostly rufous with rufescent brown outer webs on the innermost pair of feathers. Their wings are rufous brown with duskier tips on the flight…
