Spotted
A small, plain gray tapaculo endemic to the Andes of Colombia. It is a secretive ground-dweller of humid montane forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes in Colombia, particularly in the Central and Eastern Cordilleras.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, often rapid and churring vocalizations. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense cover.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific forest habitat.

Its taxonomic history has been complex, with various populations being split or lumped, highlighting the challenges of identifying and classifying cryptic Scytalopus species without vocal analysis.
