High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Urrao Antpitta or Fenwick`s Antpitta (Grallaria urraoensis or fenwickorum) is a highly threatened species of bird found in the understory of cloud forest in the Andean highlands of Colombia. Its description has caused considerable controversy. The first published description used the scientific name Grallaria fenwickorum (and English name Fenwick`s Antpitta); shortly afterward, a second description using the name Grallaria urraoensis was published. The editors of the latter recognized that the name likely was a junior synonym, but others have questioned if the first description was valid, and various authorities, including the International Ornithological Congress (followed here for English-language names), have adopted G. urraoensis. Antioquia Antpitta has been suggested as an English-language name compromise.
