Great Antpitta (Grallaria excelsa)
About the Great Antpitta
The great antpitta (Grallaria excelsa) is a Near Threatened species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Venezuela. The great antpitta has two subspecies, the nominate G. e. excelsa (Berlepsch, 1893) and G. e. phelpsi (Gilliard, 1939). The great antpitta and the giant antpitta (G. gigantea) form a superspecies. Some authors have suggested that they are actually conspecific or that subspecies G. e. phelpsi belongs to the giant antpitta.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 12 recordings for this species: 11 CC BY-NC-ND · 1 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.
