Oxapampa antpitta

The Oxapampa antpitta (Grallaria centralis) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae.

A pair of studies published in 2020 showed that it is a separate species, and it was formally described by Peter A. Hosner, Mark B. Robbins, Morton L. Isler and R. Terry Chesser.

[4][5][6] However, as of early 2024 BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) had not recognized it.

[1] The Oxapampa antpitta is about 14 to 15 cm (5.5 to 5.9 in) long; one female (the holotype) weighed 40.5 g (1.4 oz).

Its "trilled long song" is " a fast series of short, clear, slightly downslurred ringing notes at c 2.5 kHz and lasting c 1.7-2.5s.

[11] "Considering that the geographic range of the present species is even smaller than that considered for the Chestnut Antpitta (sensu lato), and in the face of suspected population declines due to ongoing habitat loss for most birds in that region...the Oxapampa Antpitta undoubtedly deserves a rating of Near Threatened or higher.
