There is no easier place currently to see this fantastic bird. It has become habituated and comes in to eat worms almost every day on a forested ridge above a chocolate farm (the chocolate is great too). Current taxonomy places it with the Gnateaters (Conopophagidae), which I honestly cannot agree with. See SACC Prop 235 for more info, but certainly in the field it behaves far more like an antpitta than a gnateater, and I am more in favor of erecting a new family (Pittasomidae) for Pittasoma rather than keeping the current classification. Other names: Rufous-crowned Pittasoma, Rufous-crowned Gnatpitta
