Distribution in the Americas

Habitat
Unfortunately, most of the original habitat within the range of Brown-banded Antpitta has been human-altered. Areas of habitat regrowth after natural disturbance, probably areas dominated by either Chusquea spp. bamboo or alder trees (Alnus acuminata), are the natural habitat of this Andean antpitta.
Overall, Brown-banded Antpitta occurs at elevations from 1800 to 3150 m (Hilty and Brown 1986, Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990, Ridgely and Tudor 1994, Kattan and Beltran 1999, 2002, Krabbe and Schulenberg 2003), but this range may vary somewhat between localities, perhaps due to habitat destruction.
