Bicolored Antpitta (Grallaria rufocinerea)
About the Bicolored Antpitta
The bicolored antpitta (Grallaria rufocinerea) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. Starting in 1979 the bicolored antpitta was treated as having two subspecies, the nominate G. r. rufocinerea (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1879) and G. r. romeroana (Hernández-Camacho & Rodríguez-M, 1979). A study published in 2022 determined that the two were indistinguishable. In 2023 the Clements taxonomy disallowed romeroana and returned the bicolored antpitta to monotypic status; the International Ornithological Committee followed suit in 2024. However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World retains both subspecies.
