Where to spot
Endemic to the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, particularly in the states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo.
How to spot
Look in the dense understory and bamboo thickets of humid montane forests. It can be shy, so patience and listening for its distinctive calls (and its mimicry!) are crucial.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the active periods of the morning and late afternoon.
