Spotted
A distinctive cotinga of the Andean cloud forests, characterized by its prominent chestnut-colored crest. Its plumage is generally grey and black, making the crest a key identifier.
Where to spot
Humid montane and cloud forests in the Andes, from Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru into Bolivia.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and subcanopy of montane forests, often perching on exposed branches. The chestnut crest is distinctive. Listen for its loud, piercing whistles.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially early morning.
