About the Santa Marta Tapaculo

The Santa Marta tapaculo (Scytalopus sanctaemartae) is a species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta of Colombia. The Santa Marta tapaculo was previously considered to be a subspecies of the rufous-vented tapaculo (Scytalopus femoralis). It was raised to species status primarily because of differences in their vocalizations.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 35 recordings for this species: 30 CC BY-NC-SA · 5 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.

As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
