I'm sure you're all capable of using Google translate, but for convenience, the essence is: first mist netted years ago but then misidentified. Later Diego Calderón photographed and asked for confirmation was Peruvian ap. On investigation, genetics suggest closer to hooded. Shakes during display and that gives it its Spanish (presumably to scientific) name of dancing antpitta. Is dimorphic: males have chestnut crown. About 8cm long. The announcement was premature: paper with description in prep. Known from 5 locations, none public but they're trying to tame one a la angel paz. Did I miss anything?
Via the aforementioned Google translate, here's a (tidied up) version of the advance announcement:
“New species of bird discovered in Cali to be presented this Monday
At a press conference to be held at 0830 on Monday, October, a new species of native bird discovered in the rural area of the Valle del Cauca will be presented at the Government Council Hall of the City of Santiago de Cali.
This is the 562nd species to be discovered in one of the conservation properties owned by the Dagma, in the Farallones National Natural Park of Cali. The environmental authority has been working for 19 years in this location to conserve its ecosystems, actions that, in a certain way, have allowed this new discovery.
The discovery of this new Colombian endemic in the Valle del Cauca is very important for the administration of Mayor Maurice Armitage, considering that Colombia occupies the first place worldwide in bird diversity, with 1,897 species, and that 50% of these are found in the Valle del Cauca, with about 561 species inhabiting Santiago de Cali.
The last time a new species was revealed within this genus was 15 years ago, in Peru. This new finding allows Colombia, Valle del Cauca and Cali to maintain leadership in the area of avian biodiversity, with the largest number of birds of any country.
The director of the Dagma Claudia María Buitrago Restrepo, stressed the importance of contributing to the conservation of ecosystems, so that we may continue making Cali a more biodiverse city.”
Suspending my usual cynicism, it's great to see govt. representatives publicly championing their country's avian biodiversities!
