Black-Faced Antthrush

Yet another iconic sound of the Peruvian Amazon, but such a rare sight.

 

There aren't many photos of this bird out there - its colours, ground dwelling behaviour and aversion to open spaces in the dark undergrowth of the Amazon all combined to make it one hard to see bird!

 

Even with the help of playback it seems more like a ghost with a voice than a real bird.
