This antpitta occurs in cloud forest in Colombia’s eastern Andes. The account lists records from the departments of Cundinamarca and Meta.
The crown, nape, and back are dark olive green. The throat is dull white with dark mottling; the breast and flanks are grey-olive, with a small white area at the center of the belly.
It inhabits cloud forest at 1,800–2,300 m and forages terrestrially, taking insects from leaf litter. Its song is transcribed as “wirt, wiirt weert.”
