The Cajamarca antpitta is about 14.5 to 15 cm (5.7 to 5.9 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly dark reddish yellow-brown crown, upperparts, wings, and tail with lighter edges on the flight feathers. They have a pale eyering. Their underparts are mostly light reddish yellow-brown. The center of their belly is pale yellowish buff, their flanks yellowish brown, and their undertail coverts dark yellowish brown. Voice: The Cajamarca antpitta's long song is "a relatively fast series of clear, slightly descending notes at ca. 2.5 kHz, speeding up and rising in pitch towards the end of the ca. 2.5 s song". Its short song is "a slow series of 5-6 whistled notes, either even or slightly downslurred in pitch at ca. 2.2 kHz". The species sings from the ground or a low perch in dense foliage.
