Panao Antpitta

Grallaria oneilli

One of several new antpittas that were previously considered to be forms of what was then called Rufous Antpitta. Panao Antpitta is restricted to a small area of the eastern Andes in central Peru east of the city of Huánuco. Plumage is mainly chestnut brown but is slightly brighter below and has a pale belly patch that is hard to see. Similar to Oxapampa Antpitta, but usually shows a faint, partial eyering and has a different voice. Gives a short “dit-purr” as well as a burst of squeaky notes that rises and speeds up at the end. Inhabits high elevation cloud forest and normally stays on the ground unless singing.

分类信息

The Panao antpitta was described as a species on the basis of differences in plumage, vocalizations and genetics. It forms a sister group with the Chachapoyas antpitta and the Junín antpitta. The birds in the Panao antpitta's range were formerly believed to be part of subspecies G. rufula obscura (now elevated to the Junín antpitta, G. obscura).<p>The Panao antpitta's specific name, oneilli, are named for Dr. John P. O'Neill, the ornithologist who collected the type specimen in Huánaco in 1983.
