Spotted
A recently discovered antpitta species with a highly localized distribution in the cloud forests of southeastern Peru. Its presence is primarily revealed by its distinct vocalizations.
Where to spot
Endemic to a small area of humid montane cloud forest in southeastern Peru, particularly in the Occabamba valley and nearby regions.
How to spot
Listen for its unique vocalizations, which were key to its initial identification as a distinct species. Observing it involves quiet, patient waiting in its specific cloud forest habitat, focusing on movement on the forest floor.
When to spot
Best sought during the early morning, especially at dawn, when it is most vocal. Active year-round within its restricted, high-elevation habitat.
