Spotted
A small, plain tapaculo found in the cloud forests on the Pacific slope of the Andes. It is a secretive ground-dweller, often only detected by its calls.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests and cloud forests on the Pacific slope of the Andes in Ecuador and northwestern Peru.
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.

Its scientific name 'opacus' means 'dark' or 'shady,' referring to its cryptic coloration and the shadowy undergrowth it inhabits.
