Endemic to highly fragmented dry deciduous forests and ravines in northwestern Peru, mainly within designated conservation areas.
How to spot
Its distinctive white wing patches are key to identification, especially in flight. Observation requires visiting its specific, limited habitat and often local expertise due to its rarity.
When to spot
Active primarily in the early morning and late afternoon, though can be seen foraging throughout the day. Observable year-round.
