ID tip

The Aripuana antwren is 11 to 12 cm (4.3 to 4.7 in) long and weighs about 11 g (0.39 oz). Adult males have a black crown and nape, a long whitish supercilium, and a black streak through the eye. The rest of their upperparts are gray. Their wings are black with white tips on the coverts and white edges on the flight feathers. Their tail is black with large white feather tips and white edges on the outermost. Their throat is pale creamy white and their breast and belly whitish. Adult females have an orangish forehead and a black crown with white streaks. Their upperparts are gray. Voice: The Aripuana antwren's song is a "soft, purring, rolling trill that decelerates strongly throughout". The song is part of the evidence for its treatment as a species, as it lacks distinct notes before the trill that visually similar others of its genus have, and the trill has a different pace from theirs.
