The northern silvery-cheeked antshrike (Sakesphoroides niedeguidonae) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds".

[3] In general the northern silvery-cheeked antshrike is very similar in appearance to the very closely related S. cristatus, with females showing more overt differences than males.

Most notably the northern silvery-cheeked antshrike has an overall lighter amber color and shows black and white barring down the tail feathers.

[1][4] The northern silvery-cheeked antshrike has been recorded flycatching and turning leaf litter for ants, spiders, termites, beetles and caterpillars.

[citation needed] The specific epithet niedeguidonae honors Brazilian archaeologist Niède Guidon, who is credited with exploring prehistoric sites in the Americas in the 1970s.
