White-throated Antpitta
Possible confusion species: Red-and-white Antpitta (Grallaria erythroleuca)
In the limited range where the Red-and-white Antpitta and White-throated Antpitta overlap, the White-throated Antpitta can be separated by its olive-brown, not reddish-brown back, and gray, not white underparts.
Possible confusion species: Rufous-faced Antpitta (Grallaria erythrotis)
Within its limited range of overlap, the Rufous-faced Antpitta can be separated from the White-throated Antpitta by its dark crown that contrasts with its rufous face, as well as tawny-brown coloration on the breast.
Definitive Basic (Adult). Lateral view.
Crown, nape, and ear coverts are bright chestnut-rufous; orbital area whitish to whitish-blue, forming a distinct ring, broadest post-ocularly; lores and anterior malar grayish, dusky-white, or sometimes white slightly peppered with black.
Definitive Basic (Adult). Dorsal view.
Upperparts are olivaceous-brown, except the uppertail coverts and tail, which are more reddish brown; wings are similar to tail and have the primaries edged paler tawny-brown on the leading edge, especially basally.
First Formative (Subadult) Plumage
Note the orange at the base of the bill and the messy appearance of the lores and eyering.
