Spotted
A rather uniformly dark, inconspicuous antpitta with a restricted range in the humid montane forests of the Andes. Its cryptic plumage makes it particularly difficult to spot.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of the eastern slopes of the Andes in central Peru, particularly in the departments of Huánuco and Pasco.
How to spot
Listen intently for its distinctive hooting call, which is the primary means 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
Most vocal and active during the early morning, especially at dawn. It is present year-round within its specific high-altitude forest range.

Its common name, 'Dusky,' perfectly describes its dark, muted coloration, which helps it blend seamlessly into the shadowy undergrowth it inhabits.
