Chestnut Antpitta (Grallaria blakei)
About the Chestnut Antpitta
The chestnut antpitta (Grallaria blakei) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Peru. The chestnut antpitta has always been regarded as monotypic. A study published in 2020 showed that two populations of it were actually separate species, the Oxapampa antpitta (G. centralis) and Ayacucho antpitta (G. ayacuchensis). By mid-2022 the International Ornithological Committee, the Clements taxonomy, and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society had recognized the two new species, significantly reducing the range attributed to the chestnut antpitta. However, as of early 2024 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) had not recognized them.
