Spotted
A medium-sized, dark tapaculo characterized by its contrasting rufous undertail-coverts. It is a secretive resident of humid montane cloud forests.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes, from northern Colombia south through Ecuador and into northern Peru. It prefers dense undergrowth, often near streams.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often rolling or churring calls. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense cover.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its range.

The bright rufous patch under its tail is a key field mark, though it can be hard to see in the dim light of its preferred dense undergrowth.
