Scarce and very shy antpitta of lowland rainforest in eastern Ecuador, northeastern Peru, and bordering parts of Colombia. It has brown upperparts, an orange throat and breast, and a black-and-white striped belly. Solitary; usually stays on the ground in dense cover where it is extremely hard to see. Song, which can be imitated by good whistlers, consists of two notes; the first is short, and the second is longer and downslurred.
