Spotted
A rare and endangered cotinga species found only in a small region of the Peruvian Andes. It is characterized by its dull olive-green plumage with distinct white cheeks, especially noticeable on the male.
Where to spot
Endemic to a few isolated patches of high-altitude humid montane forests in the northern Peruvian Andes.
How to spot
Requires dedicated searching in its very specific high-altitude forest habitat. Look for its dull plumage and the white cheek patch. Listen for its quiet, somewhat wheezy calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year, but due to its rarity and elusiveness, any sighting is significant. Best efforts in the early morning.
