Spotted
A medium-sized antpitta with a restricted range in the northern Andes. It favors dense undergrowth of humid montane forests, where its presence is often given away by its distinctive vocalizations.
Where to spot
Endemic to a limited area of the northern Peruvian Andes, specifically in the departments of Cajamarca and Amazonas, inhabiting humid montane forests.
How to spot
Due to its skulking nature, listening for its characteristic call is the primary method of detection. Patience is essential when trying to get a glimpse of this shy bird moving through the forest floor.
When to spot
Best observed during early morning or late afternoon when they are most vocal. Active year-round in its specific high-altitude forest habitat.
