The Unicolored Tapaculo is a small, plain-colored species of tapaculo known for its elusive nature. Its plumage is generally uniform, making it blend seamlessly into its forest habitat.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and dense cloud forests along the slopes of the Andes in Peru and Ecuador.
How to spot
Locating this tapaculo is best done by learning its characteristic trilling or churring song. Focus on dense undergrowth, especially near the forest floor, and be prepared for brief, furtive movements.
When to spot
Most vocal and active at dawn and dusk, but can be heard sporadically throughout the day.

Despite its 'unicolored' name, subtle variations in plumage might occur, and its identification relies heavily on its unique vocalizations rather than visual cues.
