A recently recognized antpitta species endemic to the humid montane forests of northern Peru. This shy and ground-dwelling bird is best located by its distinctive vocalizations.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of northern Peru, particularly in the departments of Cajamarca and Amazonas. It prefers dense undergrowth at moderate to high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its unique hooting calls, which are distinct from other similar antpittas. Observing requires patience and quiet movement in its dense forest habitat, as it rarely ventures into the open.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during the early morning hours, especially at dawn. Active year-round within its specific Andean habitat.
