The Rufous-banded Crake (Rufirallus fasciatus) is a small, richly colored rail found in parts of South America. It is distinguished by its rufous head and neck, dark upperparts, and distinct rufous barring on its flanks.
Where to spot
Found in South America, primarily in the Amazon basin, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Inhabits dense, wet lowland rainforest undergrowth, often near streams or ponds.
How to spot
Observing this crake requires extreme patience and quiet. Focus on listening for its distinctive calls from deep within the dense forest. Look for subtle movements in the leaf litter of damp areas.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active at dawn and dusk, but direct sightings are very rare.
