Spotted
A striking cotinga known for its unique plumage pattern, inhabiting the humid montane forests of the Andes. Both sexes display fine barring across their underparts, which is rare among fruiteaters.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests along the Andes, ranging from Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru into Bolivia.
How to spot
Look in the mid-story to subcanopy, often perching quietly for extended periods. Its distinctive barred pattern, especially on the flanks, is a key identification feature. Listen for its soft, whistle-like calls.
When to spot
Can be observed throughout the year, with activity peaking in the early morning and late afternoon.

The Barred Fruiteater's intricate barring provides excellent camouflage amongst the dappled light of the forest understory, despite its relatively bright colors.
