Speckle-breasted Antpitta
Cryptopezus nattereri
Least ConcernThe Speckle-breasted Antpitta is an antpitta of humid forests in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. 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.
