The Ceará gnateater or Caatinga gnateater (Conopophaga cearae) is a passerine bird of the gnateater family, Conopophagidae. It is found in forest understory and bushes in northeastern Brazil. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the rufous gnateater, but was considered distinct both vocally and morphologically, it being a deeper, more orange-buff color and lacking (or almost lacking) the white crescent found on the lower throat/upper chest of the remaining subspecies.
