    This is one of the 8 species of tapaculos that are endemic to Peru, out of the 22 that occur in the country!
    I saw 3 species on that single mountainside, all essentially identical, but with some elevational segregation, and VERY distinct songs, which are the key to identifying these cryptic buggers!

    EDIT: That's a new family for JD!     Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

      Haha they're really birder's birds: skulking, with few idenifying marks, and very hard to see without playback. Posted 5 years ago
