Diamantina Tapaculo
Scytalopus diamantinensis
The Diamantina tapaculo (Scytalopus diamantinensis) is a species of bird in the Rhinocryptidae family. It was described as a new species in 2007, and is endemic to Chapada Diamantina in Bahia, Brazil. In the same region, another species, the Sincorá antwren, was described in 2007. The Diamantina tapaculo is closely related to the very similar Espinhaço tapaculo and Planalto tapaculo. The three differ mainly by their calls.

Description
The Diamantina tapaculo is approximately 10 to 11 cm (3.9 to 4.3 in) long and weighs approximately 15 g (0.53 oz). The adult's plumage is identical to that of the Planalto tapaculo. The male's upperparts are mainly dark gray and the underparts paler gray. The flanks are buff with dark bars, which differentiate it from the similar but unbarred mouse-colored tapaculo. The female is browner.
Range & habitat
The Diamantina tapaculo is found only in the Chapada Diamantina in Brazil's Bahia state. It inhabits some of the remaining patches of dense forest in a region otherwise characterized by campo rupestre, a biome of grassland and rocky outcrops. In elevation it ranges from 850 to 1,600 m (2,790 to 5,250 ft).
