Spotted
A medium-sized, drab tapaculo characterized by its relatively long tail (for a tapaculo). It is a secretive resident of humid montane cloud forests.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes, from central Colombia south through Ecuador and into northern Peru.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often rapid, rattling or churring calls. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense cover.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its range.

Its 'long tail' is a subtle but distinguishing feature that helps differentiate it from other, shorter-tailed Scytalopus species.
