Description
The Bolivian tapaculo is 12 cm (4.7 in) long. Males weigh 17 to 22 g (0.60 to 0.78 oz) and one female weighed 19.5 g (0.69 oz). The male is mostly dark gray with reddish brown flanks, vent, and crissum (the area around the cloaca). It has a variable amount of white on the crown of the head. The female is paler gray washed with brown above with a black-barred brown belly. The juvenile is similar to the female.
Range & habitat
The Bolivian tapaculo is found from Puno Province in southeastern Peru into Bolivia as far as Chuquisaca Department. It inhabits dense undergrowth in humid broadleaf forest. Its primary elevational range is 1,000 to 2,300 m (3,300 to 7,500 ft) but it can be found as high as 2,850 m (9,350 ft) in a few locations.
