Spotted
A small tapaculo with a restricted range in the dry campos and gallery forests of central Brazil. It is a secretive bird of the dense undergrowth.
Where to spot
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.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific habitat.
Named after Brazil's capital city, Brasília, which is located within its known distribution. It is one of the few tapaculos found in the drier cerrado biome.
