Spotted
A diminutive antpitta characterized by its slate-gray crown and generally drab plumage. It is a secretive resident of the understory in humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and cloud forests of the Andes, from northern Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador, Peru, and into Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched, whistled calls. Patience is essential, as it typically remains concealed in dense undergrowth, hopping quietly on the forest floor or low branches.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its range.

Its specific epithet 'nana' means 'dwarf' or 'tiny,' accurately reflecting its small size compared to many other antpitta species.
