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.
