Negreti's Antpitta

Henicorhina negreti

Negreti's Antpitta is a small, secretive bird found in the cloud forests of the Andes in South America. It has a distinctive olive-brown plumage with a rufous crown and white spots on its wings. This species is known for its shy behavior and is often heard rather than seen, as it forages on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates. The species is known for its beautiful, haunting song that echoes through the misty cloud forests. Due to its elusive nature and remote habitat, it is not often encountered by birdwatchers.
