Leymebamba Antpitta
Grallaricula leymebambae
The Leymebamba Antpitta is a very small antpitta found from Ecuador to northern Bolivia, in humid montane forest along the East slope of the Andes. Like other Grallaricula, it is fond of Chusquea thickets, and tends to forage higher above the ground than the larger antpittas, often perching 2 or 3 meters above the ground.
The best way to locate it is its song, a series of high piping whistles, though it is not as vocal as most of the other antpittas with which it coexists.
