Cundinamarca Antpitta (Grallaria kaestneri)
About the Cundinamarca Antpitta
The Cundinamarca antpitta (Grallaria kaestneri) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Colombia. The Cundinamarca antpitta was first discovered by Peter Kaestner, an American diplomat and amateur ornithologist who later became the first birder to see 10,000 bird species anywhere in the world. The genus name Grallaria is from the Neo-Latin grallarius, meaning "stilt-walker". The specific epithet kaestneri recognizes the bird's discoverer, Peter Kaestner. The Cundinamarca antpitta's English name refers to the Cundinamarca Department, within which the entire population of the species was believed to reside.
