Spotted
A medium-sized antpitta known for the prominent buffy 'spectacles' around its eyes. It is a secretive resident of the understory of humid lowland and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid lowland and foothill forests from northeastern Honduras south through Costa Rica and Panama, into western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, vocalizations. This species typically stays on or near the forest floor, making it hard to spot. Patience and a quiet approach are necessary.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during the early morning and late afternoon. Can be found year-round in its tropical forest habitat.

Its 'spectacles' are a key field mark that helps distinguish it from other ground-dwelling birds in its range.
