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. Some authorities, either presently or formerly, have considered it to be a subspecies of the rufous gnateater. It is now considered distinct both vocally and morphologically, having 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.
