A newly recognized antpitta species, endemic to the humid montane forests of central Bolivia. Like its close relatives, it is more often identified by its distinct calls than by sight.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of central Bolivia, particularly in the Cochabamba region and surrounding Andean slopes.
How to spot
Learning its specific hooting calls is crucial for detection. Birders need to be extremely patient and quiet in its dense forest habitat, waiting for a fleeting glimpse as it forages on the ground.
When to spot
Best observed during early morning, particularly at dawn, when it is most vocal. Active year-round within its specific high-elevation forest environment.

Described in 2020 as part of the 'Rufous Antpitta' complex revision, its recognition underscores the importance of bioacoustics in defining species boundaries among antpittas.
