Description wikipedia

The Ampay tapaculo (Scytalopus whitneyi) is a species of bird in the family Rhinocryptidae. It is endemic to Peru. == Taxonomy and systematics == The Ampay tapaculo is one of several new tapaculo species first described or split from existing species in 2020. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society accepted it as a new species in July 2020, the International Ornithological Committee (IOC) followed suit in January 2021, and the Clements taxonomy in August 2021. It is monotypic. The species' English name derives from the Bosque Ampay, where early specimens and sound recordings were made. Its specific epithet honors Bret M. Whitney "for his outstanding contributions to Neotropical ornithology", especially those relating to genus Scytalopus. == Description == Like all members of genus Scytalopus, the Ampay tapaculo is a small, plump, dull-colored bird.
