Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
The song of Rufous-faced Antpitta resembles that of Tawny Antpitta (Grallaria quitensis) and consists of a series of three, easily imitated whistles that may be pure or have a double-note quality. The last two notes generally are higher in pitch than the first, and may be alike or have the final note slightly higher in pitch. The song duration is short (1.2-1.4 s), generally given at 5-10 second intervals. It ranges in frequency, across the entire song, from 0.2 to 0.3 kHz.
