Spotted
A small, plain gray tapaculo named for its characteristic trilling vocalizations. It is a secretive ground-dweller of humid montane and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane and foothill forests of the eastern slopes of the Andes, from southern Colombia south through eastern Ecuador, Peru, and into Bolivia.
How to spot
Learn its distinctive trilling vocalizations. It is extremely shy and difficult to see; focus on detecting it by sound and then waiting patiently near the source in dense cover, especially near ravines or streams.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its range.

Its common name perfectly describes its distinctive, often rapid and mechanical, trilling call, which is a key identification feature.
