About the Red-and-white Antpitta

The red-and-white antpitta (Grallaria erythroleuca) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Peru. The red-and-white antpitta was described in 1874 as a species. In 1970 at least one author treated it as a subspecies of the white-bellied antpitta (G. hypoleuca) but by the late twentieth century it was restored to species status. It is monotypic. However, the population in the Cordillera Vilcabamba differs from the rest in some characteristics and might be an undescribed subspecies.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 37 recordings for this species: 27 CC BY-NC-ND · 10 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
