Spotted
Another recently recognized antpitta species, restricted to a limited area in the Peruvian Andes. It is a shy inhabitant of humid montane forests, primarily identified by its unique calls.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of the central Peruvian Andes, specifically in the region of Ayacucho and surrounding areas.
How to spot
Its distinct vocalizations are the primary clue to its presence. Birders must be patient and quiet in the dense forest understory, listening carefully for its calls and waiting for a potential glimpse as it forages on the ground.
When to spot
Most active and vocal at dawn. Observation is possible year-round in its specific Andean habitat.
