Black-throated Wren

The black-throated wren is 15 cm (5.9 in) long; males weigh 24.3 to 27.3 g (0.86 to 0.96 oz) and females 22.5 g (0.79 oz). Adults have dark reddish brown crowns and upperparts that are redder on the rump. Their tails are blackish brown with faint buffy markings on the other feathers. Much of the face is black with white markings. The chin, throat, and upper chest are black, the mid-chest is reddish brown, and the lower chest and belly are reddish chestnut. Juveniles are essentially dull dark brown overall, with less contrast between the upper- and underparts than the adults. Voice: The black-throated wren's song is "a distinctive series of rich whistles ending in a trill" . Its calls include "a fast, nasal to wooden rattling 'praaaaht'" and a "guttural rolling 'beewr' or 'bweeurr'".
