The Santa Marta antpitta (Grallaria bangsi) is a Vulnerable species of bird in the family Grallariidae.

[3] Grallaria antpittas are a "wonderful group of plump and round antbirds whose feathers are often fluffed up...they have stout bills [and] very short tails".

It inhabits the floor and understory in the interior and edges of humid cloudforest and mature secondary forest.

[3] The Santa Marta antpitta's apparent breeding season spans at least from September to January.

The Santa Marta antpitta's song is "2½ whistled notes, upslurred and interrogative at end".

"The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is increasingly being destroyed and fragmented by illegal agricultural expansion, logging and burning.

"[1] It is considered common within its limited range but "severe degradation of remaining forest habitat [despite] formal protection in the Parque Nacional Natural Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, may lead to an upgrade in its threat status in the near future.
