The neblina tapaculo (Scytalopus altirostris) is a species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae.

[3] Following a study published in 1997, it was elevated to species rank because of differences in their vocalizations.

The underparts are a paler gray than the upper parts and the flanks and crissum (the area around the cloaca) are tawny with black bars.

[5] The neblina tapaculo is found in the Eastern Cordillera of Peru's northern Andes, roughly between southern Amazonas and central Huánuco Departments.

[5] Little is known about the neblina tapaculo's diet and foraging phenology, though the species is assumed to be insectivorous.
