Spotted
A large, dark tapaculo with a unique patch of stiff, forward-pointing bristles on its forehead. It is a rare and highly localized inhabitant of humid montane Atlantic Forest.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of southeastern Brazil, particularly in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, deep, and far-carrying 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 specific forest habitat.

The prominent 'bristles' on its forehead are a defining characteristic, giving it its common name and making it visually unique among its family.
