Spotted
A newly identified antpitta species endemic to the Central Andes of Colombia. This shy forest dweller is characterized by its rufous-brown plumage and distinct song.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of the Central Andes in Colombia, typically found at high elevations within the cloud forest zone.
How to spot
Listen intently for its unique hooting calls, which are the primary means of detection. Spotting this antpitta requires immense patience and quiet observation on the forest floor, as it remains well-hidden in dense undergrowth.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during the early morning hours, particularly at dawn. It is present year-round within its restricted, high-altitude range.
