Spotted
A relatively small antpitta with tawny underparts, recently split from the Thrush-like Antpitta complex. It is a shy denizen of humid foothill forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid foothill forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes in northern Peru, particularly in the departments of San Martín and Loreto.
How to spot
Listen for its unique vocalizations to distinguish it from similar species. Observing it requires quiet persistence in its dense forest habitat, as it typically stays hidden on the forest floor.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be found year-round in its specific forest habitat.
