The male, seen here in photos 1 and 3, is all grey but with a small throat patch the feathers of which are black with grey tips. It looks very like the male Alagoas Antwren M. snowi and these two species were formerly considered one. However, the female Alagoas Antwren is noticeably more rufescent and the vocalisations are different. | |||

The female, seen in photo 2, is olive-brown above with a greyer crown and nape. The wings are dark greyish-brown with yellowish edgings. Underparts are mostly olive-buff with greyish flanks. There are recordings at xeno-canto. |
