Spotted
A small, vibrant tapaculo with a distinctive white breast contrasting with its slaty-blue upperparts. It is a shy inhabitant of humid montane Atlantic Forest.
Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests and cloud forests of southeastern Brazil, particularly in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Paraná.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, often high-pitched, 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 in ravines.
When to spot
Most active and vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Can be observed year-round in its specific forest habitat.

Its strikingly contrasting plumage makes it one of the more visually attractive tapaculos, though its skulking habits mean it's rarely seen well.
