Spotted
A recently described species of small antpitta with a restricted range in the Peruvian Andes. It is a shy inhabitant of humid montane forest undergrowth, identified by its calls.
Where to spot
Endemic to a small area of humid montane cloud forest in northern Peru, specifically in the department of Amazonas near Leymebamba.
How to spot
Listen for its unique vocalizations, which are the primary key to detection. Due to its shyness and limited range, finding it requires dedicated effort and quiet persistence in its dense forest habitat.
When to spot
Best observed during early morning, particularly at dawn when it is most vocal. Active year-round within its specific high-altitude cloud forest habitat.
