Chestnut antpitta
The chestnut antpitta (Grallaria blakei ) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is endemic to Peru. In 2020, two new species previously believed to be populations of chestnut pitta were described: the Oxapampa antpitta and the Ayacucho antpitta; this has left the chestnut antpitta with a much reduced range.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. It is threatened by habitat loss.

The chestnut antpitta is currently assessed to be Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List due to its disjunct distribution and the threat of deforestation. However, the species was split into three different species in 2020, and so all three need to be reassessed in light of their more restricted ranges.
