Data Zone
Justification of Red List category
Although this species may have a restricted range, it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km² combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'fairly common' (Stotz et al. 1996, Schulenberg et al. 2010).
Trend justification
In the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable. Tree cover loss is very low (2% over three generations [12.5 years]) and large tracts of pristine forests remain within the range (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein).
The species occurs in the Andes of Peru in the states of Amazonas, San Martín and La Libertad.
The species inhabits the floor and lower understorey of humid, intact montane forest between 1,450 and 2,930 m (Greeney and Kirwan 2020). It is most common above 2,150 m, often in dense understory with Chusquea bamboo. It feeds on insects and small seeds (Greeney and Kirwan 2020). Its ecology is largely unknown.
The only known threat to this species is the loss, fragmentation degradation of forests within the range (Greeney and Kirwan 2020). Forests are cleared for small-scale agriculture, firewood and to establish rights to land ownership. The species is likely to be sensitive to fragmentation and edge effects in addition to direct habitat loss within its small range. However, tree cover loss is currently very low and vast areas of pristine, undisturbed forests remain (F. Angulo in litt. 2022, Global Forest Watch 2022).
Conservation Actions Underway
The species occurs in Río Abiseo National Park and a number of private reserves, including Abra Patricia, Hierba Buena-Allpayacu and Huaylla-Belén.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Quantify the population size. Carry out research into the species' ecological requirements and behaviour. Monitor the population trend. Expand the protected area network to effectively protect key sites. Effectively manage protected areas, utilising emerging opportunities to finance protected area management with the joint aims of reducing carbon emissions and maximizing biodiversity conservation. Incentivise conservation on private lands through expanding market pressures for sound land management and preventing forest clearance on lands unsuitable for agriculture (Soares-Filho et al. 2006).
17cm, 60.5-74g. Typical Grallaria, upright stance, pot-bellied appearance and very short tail. Neck sides, throat, breast, flanks and vent rufous or rufous-brown. Only chin and centre of belly white or grey-white. Bill dark. Crown greyish brown, and with a thin white eye-ring. Upperparts rufous-brown. Similar spp. Forms a superspecies with Red-and-white Antpitta G. erythroleuca, Bay Antpitta G. capitalis, White-bellied Antpitta G. hypoleuca and Yellow-breasted Antpitta G. flavotincta. G. capitalis has entire underside rufous except for small white patch in centre of belly. G. erythroleuca and G. hypoleuca have white throat and G. flavotincta has creamy white or buff underside including throat. Voice: Series of three pure or doubled whistles lasting 1.2-1.4 seconds and repeated every 5-10 seconds. First note is the lowest, pitch even or falling, last two similar to each other, higher pitched and rising.
