The Stripe-faced Wood Quail (Odontophorus balliviani) is characterized by a distinctive, though subtle, pattern of stripes on its face. It is a secretive inhabitant of humid Andean forests.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern Peru and northern Bolivia, primarily in humid montane forests of the eastern Andes.
How to spot
Look for subtle movement on the forest floor. Listen intently for its calls, which are often the best way to detect its presence in dense cover, as it is a shy and camouflaged species.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, when they are foraging. They are resident birds, present all year.

The 'stripes' on its face are subtle but visible markings that help distinguish it from other members of its genus, particularly from a close view.
