ID tip
Berlepsch's canastero is 15 to 16 cm (5.9 to 6.3 in) long. Adults have an inconspicuous gray supercilium and blackish lores and ear coverts. Their crown is warm brown that becomes paler and duller on their back. Their rump and uppertail coverts are rufous. Their wings are mostly blackish with dark rufous edges and tips on their coverts. Their tail's outermost pair of feathers are rufous, the next pair partly rufous and partly blackish, and the rest fully blackish. Voice: The song of Berlepsch's canastero is a trill that is similar to that of the rusty-vented canastero. That species' song "may begin with a series of introductory notes, but these apparently are not always given. The song then...accelerates and ascends, before descending and decelerating near the end".
