The pale-billed antpitta (Grallaria carrikeri) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to highland forest in the Andes of northern Peru.
Grallariidae is a family of smallish passerine birds of subtropical and tropical Central and South America known as antpittas. They are between 10 and 20 cm (4–8 in) in length, and are related to the antbirds, Thamnophilidae, and gnateaters, Conopophagidae. They were also formerly placed in the Formicariidae, but studies by Rice (2005) indicated a distinct family was supported. Both the North American and South American committees of the AOU recognized the family soon after. This family contains probably some 50 species in 1 large and four fairly small genera.
The jocotoco antpitta is an endangered antpitta, a bird from Ecuador and Peru. It was discovered in 1997, and scientifically described in 1999.
The white-bellied storm petrel is a species of seabird in the family Oceanitidae. It is found in Angola, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, French Polynesia, French Southern Territories, Maldives, Namibia, New Zealand, Perú, Saint Helena, and South Africa. Its natural habitat is open seas.
The Tuxtla quail-dove or Veracruz quail-dove is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is endemic to pristine montane rainforest in the Sierra de los Tuxtlas of Mexico's Veracruz state. It was once considered a subspecies of the purplish-backed quail-dove of Central America.
Grallaria is a large genus of Neotropical birds in the antpitta family Grallariidae.
The stripe-headed antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It was first described by German ornithologist Jean Louis Cabanis. It is found in Peru and western Bolivia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The chestnut antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Peru. In 2020, two new species previously believed to be populations of chestnut pitta were described: the Oxapampa antpitta and the Ayacucho antpitta; this has left the chestnut antpitta with a much reduced range.
The rufous-faced antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Bolivia.
The grey-naped antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Venezuela.
The chestnut-crowned antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forest and heavily degraded former forest, which it has a much greater tolerance for than most antpittas. Usually this bird lives at elevations of 1,900 to 3,100 meters (6,200–10,200 ft).
The bicolored antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. In 2020, genetic evidence revealed that the bicolored pitta is a member of the rufous antpitta species complex. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The rufous antpitta was a species of bird in the family Grallaridae that, in 2020, was found to be a species complex made up of 13 visually similar, but distinct species.
The Urrao antpitta, also known as Fenwick's antpitta, is a highly threatened species of bird found in the understory of cloud forest in the Andean highlands of Colombia. The first published description used the scientific name Grallaria fenwickorum ; shortly afterward, a second description using the name Grallaria urraoensis was published. The editors of the latter recognized that the name likely was a junior synonym, but others have questioned the validity of the first description, and various authorities, including the International Ornithological Congress, have adopted G. urraoensis. Antioquia antpitta has been suggested as an English-language name compromise.
The Chamí antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Colombia. It is a member of the rufous antpitta species complex and was first described by Andrés M. Cuervo, Carlos Daniel Cadena, Morton L. Isler and R. Terry Chesser in 2020.
The Cajamarca antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Peru. It is a member of the rufous antpitta species complex and was formally elevated from subspecies to species in 2020.
The Perijá antpitta is a species of bird in the antpitta family. It is endemic to the Serranía del Perijá on the border of Colombia and Venezuela. In 2016, it was elevated from subspecies of rufous antpitta to full species on the basis of its different vocalizations from the other members of the species complex.
The Junín antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to the Peruvian department, Junín. It is a member of the rufous antpitta species complex and was formally elevated from subspecies to species in 2020.
The Urubamba antpitta is a bird in the family Grallariidae. The species was first described as a subspecies by Frank Chapman in 1923. It is endemic to Peru. It is a member of the rufous antpitta species complex and was elevated from subspecies to species in 2020 on the basis of differences in plumage and vocalization. The same study also described a new subspecies of Urubamba antpitta.
The Muisca antpitta is a bird in the family Grallariidae. The species was first described by Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1843. It was formerly considered to be the rufous antpitta, which in 2020 was found to be a species complex composed of 13 species, including the bicolored antpitta. It is endemic to the eastern Andes in northern Colombia and western Venezuela.
The Ayacucho antpitta is a species of bird in the family Grallaridae. It is endemic to the Peruvian department of Ayacucho. The Ayacucho antpitta was formerly believed to be a population of chestnut antpitta, but in 2020 it was described as a new species by Peter A. Hosner, Mark B. Robbins, Morton L. Isler and R. Terry Chesser.
