ID tip
The brownish twistwing is 14 to 18 cm (5.5 to 7.1 in) long. The sexes have almost the same plumage; males are larger than females. Adult males of the nominate subspecies are mostly dull brown. They have a slight grayish tinge on the crown, buff lores, and prominent rictal bristles. Their wings are somewhat duskier with thin rufous-buff edges on the coverts and tertials. Their outer primaries have stiff twisted shafts that give the species its English name. Their rump and tail are a more rufous brown than the back.
