Urubamba Antpitta (Grallaria occabambae)
About the Urubamba Antpitta
The Urubamba antpitta (Grallaria occabambae) is a bird in the family Grallariidae. The species was first described as a subspecies by Frank Chapman in 1923. It is endemic to Peru. It is a member of the rufous antpitta species complex and was elevated from subspecies to species in 2020 on the basis of differences in plumage and vocalization. The same study also described a new subspecies of Urubamba antpitta (G. o. marcapatensis). The Urubamba antpitta was first described as a subspecies of rufous antpitta in 1923, but a 2020 study found that differences in plumage and vocalizations warrant elevation to species. There are two subspecies of Urubamba antpitta: G. o. occabambae and G. o. marcapatensis. They are distinguishable by minor plumage differences and differences in song.
