The ochre-striped antpitta (Grallaria dignissima) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The ochre-striped antpitta was first described as Grallaria dignissima by Sclater and Salvin and illustrated by John Gerrard Keulemans in 1880. In the first half of the twentieth century several authors moved it to genus Thamnocharis; that genus was later subsumed into Grallaria so the species returned to its original binomial. The ochre-striped antpitta and the elusive antpitta (G. eludens) are sister species.
The ochre-striped antpitta is monotypic. 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 ochre-striped antpitta is 15 to 19 cm (5.9 to 7.5 in) long; one male weighed 110 g (3.9 oz). The sexes have almost the same plumage. Adult males have a gray-brown crown and nape. Their back, rump, and tail are olive-brown with black and white streaks on the lower back and rump. They have buff lores and buffy brown ear coverts. Their throat and breast are ochraceous brown that becomes black... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-striped Antpitta sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 16 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 498th most-seen of the 533 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-striped Antpitta in Yasuní National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Only Yasuní National Park, in our data
Yasuní National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ochre-striped 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 Ochre-striped Antpitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Yasuní National Park (16 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.
