Rusty-tinged Antpitta

Ramphomicron dorsale

The Rusty-tinged Antpitta is a small, terrestrial bird found in the cloud forests of the Andes in South America. It has a distinctive rusty-tinged plumage on its back and wings, with a creamy white underside. This species is known for its secretive nature, often foraging on the forest floor for insects and small invertebrates. Its unique call can often be heard echoing through the dense undergrowth. The Rusty-tinged Antpitta is considered a species of least concern, but its population is declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
