The bicolored antpitta (Grallaria rufocinerea) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia and Ecuador. In 2023 the Clements taxonomy disallowed romeroana and returned the bicolored antpitta to monotypic status; the International Ornithological Committee followed suit in 2024. However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World retains both subspecies.
The species had also been thought to be only distantly related to the then rufous antpitta (G. rufula sensu lato) but in 2020, genetic evidence revealed that the it was deeply embedded within the rufous antpitta species complex of as many as 15 species.
This article follows the monotypic species model. Grallaria antpittas are a "wonderful group of plump and round antbirds whose feathers are often fluffed up...they have stout bills [and] very short tails". The bicolored antpitta... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bicolored Antpitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Los Nevados National Natural Park (706 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.
