Spotted
A recently described tapaculo species with a restricted range in the high Andes of northern Peru. It is a secretive bird of humid montane scrub and forest.
Where to spot
Endemic to a small area of humid montane scrub and cloud forest in the high Andes of northern Peru, particularly in the department of Amazonas.
How to spot
Listen for its unique vocalizations, which are the primary key to detection. Due to its restricted range and shyness, finding it requires dedicated effort and local expert guidance in its dense habitat.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be found year-round in its specific high-elevation habitat.
Named after Bret M. Whitney, a prominent American ornithologist known for his extensive fieldwork and contributions to Neotropical bird taxonomy, especially in cryptic groups.
