Spotted
The Chestnut-crowned Gnateater is a small, plump bird with a short tail and long legs, characterized by its distinct rufous or chestnut crown and ear-tufts.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory of humid foothill and lower montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched, ticking calls. Patience is key, as they are very skulking and blend into the leaf litter.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.

This species often forages very low to the ground, almost exclusively within the leaf litter, making it particularly challenging to spot.
