Junin Antpitta (Grallaria obscura)
About the Junin Antpitta
The Junin antpitta (Grallaria obscura) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to the Peruvian Department of Junín. The Junin antpitta was originally described in 1896 as the subspecies G. rufula obscura of the rufous antpitta. Research published in 2020 showed that it was a distinct species, and another 2020 publication confirmed that it is part of the rufous antpitta species complex of some 15 species. The International Ornithological Committee and the Clements taxonomy recognized the new species in 2021. However, as of early 2024 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) retains it as a subspecies of G. rufula for which it also retains the English name rufous antpitta.
