They have a brownish gray crown, a white supercilium and cheek, and a dark brown "collar" on their nape and upper back. Their lower back is dull rufous-brown. Their wings and tail are black with whitish edges on the outer web of the outermost tail feathers. Voice: The austral negrito is not highly vocal. Its alarm call is "a repeated tjit-tjit" and its contact call "a short twitter". Males call "sipsipsipsip-sereen" during their display flight.
