Spotted
A recently described tapaculo species with a highly restricted range in the humid montane forests of southeastern Brazil. It is a secretive and dull-colored bird.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very small area of humid montane forest in southeastern Brazil, specifically in the state of Bahia, on the Serra do Padre Angelo.
How to spot
Listen for its unique vocalizations, which are the primary key to detection. Due to its extreme rarity and shyness, finding it requires dedicated effort and local expert guidance in its dense, restricted habitat.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be found year-round in its specific high-elevation forest habitat.
