Carraca Terrestre Escamosa Geobiastes squamiger

Chunky, long-legged, intricately patterned bird. Pale blue tail tips are conspicuous in flight. Elusive and uncommon; unlikely to be seen by those not searching for it. Found at low and middle elevations in eastern rainforest. Feeds in the understory, avoiding disturbance by fleeing on the ground. Song is a long “bwooooop” note that is repeated slowly, delivered from a low perch.
