Spotted
A small, distinctive tapaculo with a faint but noticeable pale band across its forehead, found in the high Andes of Peru. It is a secretive forest inhabitant.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes in south-central Peru, particularly at high elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic vocalizations. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense cover, especially near streams or ravines.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific high-altitude forest habitat.

Its common name 'Diademed' refers to the subtle pale 'diadem' or band above its eyes, which is a key identification feature.
