ID tip
"Grallaricula are very small Andean antpittas, found mostly in low dense vegetation (such as treefall gaps, stream edges, and bamboo thickets)." The ochre-fronted antpitta is about 11.5 to 12 cm (4.5 to 4.7 in) long; four individuals weighed 22.5 to 23.8 g (0.79 to 0.84 oz). Adult males have ochraceous buff lores and eyering and a white or buffy white "moustache" with a black line below it. Their forecrown ("front") is ochraceous buff and their rear crown olive brown. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive brown. Their throat is white. Voice: What is believed to be the ochre-fronted antpitta's song is "a single whistled note, given every 6–15 sec: a rising-falling wheeu?". Its call is "a chatter when responding aggressively". Females apparently sing more loudly than males.
