Spotted
A medium-sized antpitta characterized by its intricate barred or 'undulated' plumage pattern on its underparts. It is a denizen of the lower and mid-montane cloud forest understory.
Where to spot
Found along the eastern slopes of the Andes from southern Colombia, through Ecuador, and into northern Peru. It inhabits humid montane and cloud forests at various elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive hooting call. This species can be quite shy, typically foraging on the forest floor amidst dense leaf litter. Patience is key, as is a quiet approach in appropriate forest habitats.
When to spot
Like most antpittas, it is most vocal and active during the early morning and late afternoon. It can be found year-round in its preferred habitat.
