Sucre Antpitta

"Grallaricula are very small Andean antpittas, found mostly in low dense vegetation (such as treefall gaps, stream edges, and bamboo thickets)." The Sucre antpitta is about 10 to 11 cm (3.9 to 4.3 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have an orange rufous loral spot and a buffy to buffy-rufous eyering. Their crown and nape are dark slaty gray. Their upperparts and tail are dark olive brown and their wings slightly browner with thin buff edges on the primaries. Their ear coverts, sides of their neck, and their throat are bright rufous orange. Voice: The Sucre antpitta's song is a "trilled series of mellow notes which initially rises in pitch and may again fall in pitch towards the end" and may extend to 30 notes. Its principal call is a "short, stuttered series of 5‒6 typically raspy notes...Krree-krre-krre-krre-krr". The species is most vocal in the morning and late afternoon. It typically sings from a low perch.
