Spotted
A striking tapaculo characterized by a prominent rufous band across its chest. It is a shy, ground-dwelling bird of humid lowland and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests across the western Amazon Basin, from eastern Ecuador and northern Peru south to northern Bolivia, and adjacent Brazil.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often mechanical-sounding calls. It is very shy; observe patiently near where calls are heard, focusing on movement on the forest floor, often near dense thickets or fallen logs.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be found year-round in its Amazonian forest habitat.

Its unique rusty breast band makes it one of the most visually distinctive tapaculo species, though its secretive habits still make it a challenge to observe clearly.
