It is browny-grey above with rufous wings and tail. The chin is light grey and there is a black patch on the
lower throat. The breast is grey becoming white in the centre.
It has a proportionately longer bill than most of the Synallaxis spinetails and a very pointed tail which you should be able to see in the third photo. |
