Spotted
A small, plain gray tapaculo endemic to the Andes of Bolivia. It is a secretive ground-dweller of humid montane forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes in Bolivia, particularly in the departments of Cochabamba and Santa Cruz.
How to spot
Listen for its characteristic, often rapid and churring 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.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific forest habitat.

Like many tapaculos, its identification relies heavily on subtle plumage differences and, more critically, its unique vocalizations, which differentiate it from look-alikes.
