Yellow-breasted Antpitta, Grallaria flavotincta, is a passerine of the Grallariidae family that breeds in South America from Colombia to north-west Ecuador. It lives on the Pacific side of the Andes, mainly in humid montane forest, especially on steep slopes and beside ravines and watercourses, and it also uses forest edges. The species was first described by Sclater, PL, 1877. It is resident across its range and is one of the antpittas that visits feeding stations. Its breeding season is not fully known, though it has been recorded from January to March.
