Spotted
A rather plain but distinctive cotinga species found in the humid montane forests of the Andes. Its plumage is uniformly rufous or reddish-brown, and it is primarily known for its loud vocalizations.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes from Colombia to Bolivia.
How to spot
Often detected by its loud, clear, rising and falling whistles ('wheeee-ooo'). Look for it perched upright in the mid-story to canopy of tall trees. Its uniform rufous color is the key field mark.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal and active in the early morning and late afternoon.

The Rufous Piha's loud, whistled calls are a characteristic sound of the cloud forests where it resides, often heard long before the bird is seen.
