ID tip
They are about 11.5 to 14 cm (4.5 to 5.5 in) long and weigh on average 24.5g (0.86 oz). The Ceará Gnateater used to be considered a subspecies of the Rufous Gnateater (Conopophaga lineata), but genetic evidence showed they are distinct species. They were split into two different independent taxa in 2015. The vocalization of the two species is similar, but the Ceara Gnateater has a lower-pitched song that is slightly slower than that of the Rufous Gnateater. They are also different in appearance.
