Chestnut-crowned Antpitta

A tovaca-de-coroa-castanha (Grallaria ruficapilla) é um formicariídeo sulamericano que habita o sub-bosque denso de florestas montanas andinas entre 1.000 e 3.000 m. Caracteriza-se pela coroa castanho-avermelhada e partes inferiores brancas com estrias escuras. Como outras tuvacas, é terrestre e esquiva, caminhando no chão em busca de invertebrados. Possui canto distintivo que auxilia sua detecção. Nidifica em ninhos abertos apoiados em vegetação.
