The chestnut-naped antpitta (Grallaria nuchalis) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. 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". The chestnut-naped antpitta is 19.5 to 21 cm (7.7 to 8.3 in) long and weighs 104 to 122 g (3.7 to 4.3 oz). There is no plumage difference of the male and female. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a dark chestnut crown and a rufous-chestnut hindcrown, nape, and face. They have gray lores and a patch of bare white skin behind the eye. Their upperparts and tail are brown. Their wings are mostly brown with tawny-brown primaries. Their underparts are ashy gray that is darkest on the throat. Subspecies G. n. ruficeps has a brighter rufous-chestnut crown, nape, and face and lighter gray underparts than the nominate. G. n. obsoleta has a brown crown, blackish lores, a more chestnut face, olivaceous brown upperparts, and blackish gray underparts. All subspecies have a gray iris, a black bill, and pale blue-gray legs and feet.
