Tawny Antpitta
Grallaria quitensis
Least ConcernThe Tawny Antpitta is an antpitta of humid forests in Ecuador and Colombia. 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: Several antpittas have been coaxed into the open at forest feeding stations, where they come for earthworms.
