These poor photos at least show the distinguishing features of the species. It is brown above with a grey face,
two buffy wing bars and a black throat with white spots. Underparts are grey. The female has larger white spots and a brown rather than grey
forehead.
It used to be classified in the genus Myrmotherula but genetic data places it in Rhopias. |
