Where to spot
Found throughout the Andes mountain range, from Venezuela to Bolivia, inhabiting humid montane forests, cloud forests, and elfin forest, typically at mid to high elevations.
How to spot
Its plain dull plumage and subtle white eye-ring are key. The most distinctive feature is its incredibly beautiful, flute-like song, which often reveals its presence in dense forest.

Its ethereal song is a hallmark of the Andean cloud forest, often heard echoing through the mist-shrouded slopes, even when the bird itself remains unseen.
