Stripe-headed Antpitta

Grallaria antpittas are a "wonderful group of plump and round antbirds whose feathers are often fluffed up...they have stout bills very short tails". The stripe-headed antpitta is 16 to 16.5 cm (6.3 to 6.5 in) long and weighs 48 to 66 g (1.7 to 2.3 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a blackish forecrown and a brown or olive brown hindcrown, both of which have white or buff streaks. They have whitish buff or buff lores spot that merges with a white ring around the eye on a face otherwise streaked with whitish, buff, and black. Voice: The stripe-headed antpitta's song is "a low, grinding, froglike trill that rises and falls, often with an introductory stutter: gr-grrrEEEEErrrr". The subspecies have different calls. That of the nominate is "a single, somewhat wheezy, slightly descending note" and that of G. a. punensis "1-2, usually mellower notes alike".
