2001. More recently, both taxonomic order & nomenclature here are from
"Birds of the World - Recommended English Names" by Frank Gill &
Minturn Wright (published in 2006).

(r/BR): rare in Brazil
(t): a globally threatened or
rare species, designated by Birdlife International

Outside Brazil, the Variegated Antpitta has been found during FONT

It's usually not easy to see an antpitta.
In these 2 photographs (above
& below), there's a female Variegated Antpitta
on its nest in the crotch of a tree, in southeastern Brazil.
During a FONT Brazil Tour in October 2001, as we were walking
along a trail in a section of Atlantic Forest,
we found this bird at eye-level (ours & its), as it was sitting on
its nest.
We stood still and enjoyed the rare sight, and in particular the large antpitta with its big dark eyes.
In these pictures, the antpitta is looking right at us,
with those eyes on each side of the white on its face.
As we walked away, the bird temporarily left its nest.We looked, before we left, at its blue eggs.
