The scallop-breasted antpitta is monotypic. However, one prominent ornithologist has suggested that the Peruvian antpitta (G. peruviana) might be a subspecies of it.
"Grallaricula are very small Andean antpittas, found mostly in low dense vegetation (such as treefall gaps, stream edges, and bamboo thickets)."

Their breast is maize yellow that becomes creamy white on their belly. The breast... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Scallop-breasted Antpitta sighting in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 240th most-seen of the 358 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Scallop-breasted Antpitta in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and June–November, the lowest months.
Only Henri Pittier National Park, in our data
Henri Pittier National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Scallop-breasted Antpitta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Scallop-breasted Antpitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Henri Pittier National Park (18 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
