Distribution
Distribution in the Americas
Rufous-faced Antpitta is endemic to Bolivia, confined to the Upper Yungas Endemic Bird Area in the departments of La Paz, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz (Krabbe and Schulenberg 2003). Overall, Rufous-faced Antpitta occurs at elevations from 2000 to 3300 meters (Remsen 1985, Fjeldså and Krabbe 1990, Ridgely and Tudor 1994, Krabbe and Schulenberg 2003, Macleod et al. 2005).

Confined to the Americas.
Habitat
Like many of other species of Grallaria, Rufous-faced Antpitta pnly infrequently is found inside mature forest, and instead prefers forest edges, road cuts, and other areas of second growth. Indeed, the one reference I found to an individual inside "deep forest" was found inside a Chusquea sp. bamboo thicket (Remsen et al. 1982). Current evidence suggest that Rufous-faced Antpitta prefers areas of habitat disturbance, either natural (i.e., bamboo), or man-made.
