Plain antpitta restricted to cloud forest along the east slope of the Andes in northern Peru. Mostly chestnut-brown; very similar to Graves’s Antpitta, but lacks a distinct eyering and has a different voice. Inhabits dense understory, where it is typically very hard to see; usually stays on the ground unless singing. Some lodges have feeding stations, making it much easier to find. Song is a fast, whistled trill lasting a few seconds.
