Spotted
A uniformly chestnut-colored antpitta with a relatively small distribution in the Andes. It is a highly elusive bird, dwelling in the dense undergrowth of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of the eastern slopes of the Andes in central Peru, particularly in the departments of Junín and Pasco.
How to spot
Listen intently for its distinctive hooting call, which is the primary method 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
Best observed during early morning hours, especially at dawn, when it is most vocal. Active year-round within its specific high-altitude cloud forest habitat.

Named after Emmett Reid Blake, an American ornithologist, this species' uniform color makes it blend seamlessly into the forest floor, making it particularly difficult to spot.
