Sucre Antpitta Grallaricula cumanensis

Plump, small antpitta with olive-brown back, tawny underparts, white belly, and gray crown. Sexes similar. Difficult to see, mostly near the ground in forests with dense or open understory. Easy to detect by voice: song a descending series of high-pitched whistles “pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi-pi.” Very similar to Slate-crowned Antpitta, but no range overlap with this or any other similar antpitta species. Endemic to the Turimiquire and Paria regions of northeastern Venezuela.
