Spotted
A vibrantly colored antpitta, notable for its bright ochre underparts contrasting with a dark back. This species is an inhabitant of dense cloud forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the humid montane forests of western and central Colombia, particularly in the Western and Central Andes. It prefers mossy cloud forest understory.
How to spot
Focus on listening for its distinct, relatively low-pitched hooting call. Patience is crucial as it typically remains concealed in dense vegetation close to the forest floor. Sitting quietly near a known calling spot increases chances.
When to spot
Best seen or heard during the early morning hours, especially at dawn when it is most vocal. Active year-round within its limited range.

Its striking coloration makes it one of the more visually appealing antpittas, though its shy nature still makes it a challenge to observe clearly.
