Description

Size
17 cm
Feeding Habits
Plain-backed Antpitta primarily feeds on small invertebrates, including spiders, worms, and snails. It also consumes a significant amount of earth, which comprises up to 80% of the stomach content. This bird swallows larger prey whole, forages solitarily on the ground, often walking or running to hunt.
Habitat
The plain-backed Antpitta primarily inhabits the floor and lower understorey of humid and wet montane forests, with a preference for forest borders. It is often found in these ecosystems, especially on fairly steep slopes and proximate to creeks. Within its broader geographical range, a closely related species, G. flavotincta, is found at higher elevations, indicating a clear altitudinal separation between the two.
