Where to spot
Endemic to the humid montane forests of southeastern Ecuador and northern Peru. It inhabits dense undergrowth, bamboo thickets, and forest edges, typically at mid-elevations.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, whistled song. Look for its plain, olive-brown plumage with a subtle ochre wash above the eye. It forages low in dense vegetation, often on the ground.
