Spotted
The Rufous-breasted Leaftosser is a ground-dwelling bird identifiable by its rich rufous breast and contrasting darker upperparts. It forages by expertly tossing leaf litter aside.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, where it inhabits the forest understory.
How to spot
Listen for the rustling sound of its foraging activity in the leaf litter. Patiently scan the forest floor, especially in dense, dark areas, for its characteristic movements and distinctive plumage.
When to spot
Active year-round, primarily during daylight hours. Often more active in the early morning and late afternoon.

Its bright rufous breast is a striking feature that can sometimes be seen even in the dim light of the forest understory, aiding in its identification.
