Spotted
A recently recognized antpitta species from the high Andes of southern Peru and Bolivia. It is a ground-dwelling bird of humid montane forests, primarily identified by its vocalizations.
Where to spot
Found in the high-elevation humid montane forests and cloud forests of southern Peru and western Bolivia, typically at elevations above 3,000 meters.
How to spot
Learn its unique hooting calls for identification. Observing it requires quiet persistence in its dense, high-altitude forest habitat, scanning the dark understory where it forages on the ground.
When to spot
Most active and vocal at dawn and early morning. It is present year-round within its specific high-altitude forest range.
Described in 2020 as part of the 'Rufous Antpitta' complex, its scientific name 'alticola' directly means 'high-dwelling,' referencing its preference for high-altitude habitats.
