Identification
Plump, almost tailless, cryptically-plumaged bird with an orange eyering. Has a gray crown, an olive-green back, and white underparts with rusty flanks and a black-streaked breast. Inhabits humid, usually undisturbed forest with a fairly dense understory. Forages quietly by hopping on the forest floor. The song is a series of typically six deep, hurried hollow notes: “hoor-hoor-hoor-hoor-ho-ho.” The similar Spotted and Alta Floresta Antipttas are very difficult to tell apart, with similar songs which vary in the number of notes, but their ranges don’t overlap.
