This beautiful antbird is one of the most spectacular ornithological finds in recent years. It was discovered in 2016, and named for the remote mountain range in northern Peru where it is found. The male has black underparts and wings, chestnut upperparts, white eyebrows, and buffy wingbars. The female has chestnut underparts and a white throat, giving her a masked appearance. Inhabits cloud forest understory, where it is usually seen walking slowly on the ground. Song is a piping “see you see me.”
