The Rufous-breasted Wood Quail (Odontophorus speciosus) is a beautiful wood quail featuring a prominent rufous breast, contrasting with its darker upperparts. It is an inhabitant of Andean cloud forests.
Where to spot
Found in the Andes of southern Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru, primarily in humid montane and cloud forests at elevations of 1,200-3,000 meters.
How to spot
Move slowly and quietly through its habitat, scanning the undergrowth carefully. Listen for its characteristic calls, which are often a series of resonant hoots and are usually the first sign of its presence.
When to spot
Early mornings are often the best time to hear and potentially see them as they forage on the forest floor.

The male's rufous breast can be quite vivid, serving as a key identification mark that distinguishes it from other wood quails in its range.
