Extremely rare and little-known woodcock, endemic to Sulawesi, where it inhabits moist montane forests at around 1100-2500 meters. Heavily barred above and on the sides, with an unmarked belly. Shy and extremely difficult to see, often tucked away in dense ground cover and fleeing on foot if disturbed. Forages in wet patches on the forest floor. Vocalizations unknown.
