A recently described antpitta species with a very restricted range in the southern Amazon of Brazil. It is a secretive bird of the forest understory, primarily detected by its calls.
Where to spot
Endemic to a small area of humid lowland forest in the southern Amazon Basin of Brazil, specifically near Alta Floresta in Mato Grosso state.
How to spot
Its distinct vocalizations are crucial for identification, as it is morphologically similar to other Hylopezus species. Observing requires visiting its specific localized range and being patient in the dense undergrowth.
