The Bahia Tapaculo is an Endangered tapaculo found in humid Atlantic Forest remnants in Bahia, Brazil, weighing about 17.75g with a wingspan of 10.5cm. Like other tapaculos it is shy and secretive, staying hidden in dense ground-level vegetation. Ongoing deforestation of the Atlantic Forest has fragmented and reduced its already small range.
