Spotted Antpitta (Hylopezus macularius)
About the Spotted Antpitta
The spotted antpitta (Hylopezus macularius) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. The spotted antpitta's taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, the Clements taxonomy, and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society assign the spotted antpitta two subspecies, the nominate H. m. macularius (Temminck, 1830) and H. m. dilutis (Hellmayr, 1910). They previously considered what are now the masked antpitta (H. auricularis) and Snethlage's antpitta (H. paraensis) as subspecies. They recognized the first of them as a species following a 1998 publication and the second after a study published in 2012.
