Spotted
A striking antpitta named for its distinctive rufous face and ear-coverts, contrasting with its otherwise plain plumage. It is a secretive dweller of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes in southern Peru and northwestern Bolivia. It prefers dense undergrowth, often with bamboo.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, hooting calls. Patience is key, as it forages on the forest floor but stays close to dense cover. It is occasionally seen crossing trails or foraging at forest edges.
When to spot
Most vocal and active during the early morning and late afternoon. Observation is possible year-round within its range.

The bright rufous coloration on its face makes it one of the most easily identified antpittas, provided a clear view can be obtained in its dark forest habitat.
