Endemic to the dry campos and gallery forests of central Brazil, primarily in the Federal District and surrounding parts of Goiás and Minas Gerais.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often rapid, vocalizations. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense riparian thickets.
