Boyaca Antpitta

Grallaria alticola

Medium-sized antpitta found in elfin forest and páramo near or above treeline in the Andes in north-central Colombia. Typical antpitta shape: plump with short tail and long legs. Dull brownish plumage, darker olive above and richer buffy below. Sexes similar. Fairly common and much more conspicuous than most other antpittas; frequently seen bounding around in the open, though typically close to shrubby cover. Sometimes sings from a fairly prominent perch; listen for series of four to six clipped, piping whistles: usually two higher, longer notes followed by a slightly quicker series of shorter rising notes.
