The Silvery-fronted Tapaculo is a small, dark bird named for the distinctive silvery-white patch on its forehead, which can be difficult to see in the field. It inhabits the dense understory of humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Restricted to humid montane forests, primarily in the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama.
How to spot
Finding this species largely depends on locating its specific calls, which are often rhythmic and repetitive. Scan low, dense vegetation, especially in ravines or near water, as it scurries along the forest floor.
When to spot
Active year-round, with its calls being most prominent during the early morning and late afternoon.

This tapaculo's 'silvery-front' is often the only unique visual cue, but it's usually obscured by its secretive nature and dim forest habitat, making its voice its primary identifier.
