Spotted
A small and striking antpitta, characterized by its bright ochre forehead and pale bill. It is a highly elusive inhabitant of the dense understory in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests on the Pacific and eastern slopes of the Andes, from Colombia south through Ecuador and into northern Peru.
How to spot
Listen for its distinct, high-pitched calls. Patience is crucial, as it hops silently on the forest floor or low branches. Birders often use playback to try and lure it into view.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its range.

Its bright forehead patch is a key visual identifier, though getting a clear view of this tiny, shy bird in its shadowy habitat is a significant challenge.
