Panao Antpitta

Grallaria oneilli

Least Concern

The Panao Antpitta is an antpitta of humid forests in Peru. A plump, almost tailless bird with long legs, it hops across the shaded forest floor and low understorey, pausing upright to search the leaf litter for insects, worms, and other small prey. Fun fact: Antpittas are famous for their ventriloquial voices, which makes these round, long-legged birds far easier to hear than to see.
