Spotted
A distinctive antpitta named for its striking bicolored plumage, with a rufous upper body contrasting sharply with a cinereous (ashy-grey) lower body. It is an inhabitant of high-elevation cloud forests.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes, from central Colombia south through Ecuador. It typically occurs at higher elevations, often above 2,500 meters.
How to spot
Listen for its deep, hooting calls. To spot it, quietly walk trails in appropriate cloud forest, scanning the dark understory. Patience is essential, as it often remains hidden in dense cover.
When to spot
Best observed during the early morning when they are most active and vocal. Can be found year-round in its specific high-altitude cloud forest habitat.

Its vivid bicolored pattern makes it one of the most easily identifiable antpittas visually, once spotted, though getting a clear view remains a challenge due to its secretive habits.
