About the Unicolored Tapaculo
The unicolored tapaculo (Scytalopus unicolor) is a species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is endemic to Peru. The unicolored tapaculo is monotypic. However, it previously included blackish tapaculo (Scytalopus latrans) and trilling tapaculo (S. parvirostris) as subspecies. The unicolored tapaculo is 10.5 cm (4.1 in) long. The male is gray, darker above and lighter below. Its rear (above and below) sometimes has a slightly light brown wash. The female is similar but the brown wash is more often darker. The immature is brown above and dull yellowish below, with spots and bars on the belly and flanks respectively.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 67 recordings for this species: 46 CC BY-NC-ND · 21 CC BY-NC-SA. 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.
