Fawn-throated Foliage-gleaner

The fawn-throated foliage-gleaner is 18 to 20 cm (7.1 to 7.9 in) long and weighs 30 to 46 g (1.1 to 1.6 oz). It is a fairly large member of its genus and has a heavy bill. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a mostly dark brownish face with a bold buff eyering and stripe behind the eye, faint reddish streaks on the ear coverts, and an ochraceous-buff malar area with faint dark flecks. Their crown and nape are dark brown with a faint blackish brown scallop pattern. Their back and rump are rich dark brown that blends to rufous uppertail coverts. Voice: The fawn-throated foliage-gleaner's song is "a descending chortling rattle of 1-1.5 secs duration, often repeated steadily", and is sung mostly at dawn and dusk. It is also described as "a sputtering, nasal trill that slows and drops slightly at the end". Its calls include a "low, gruff shuk, a sharp, nasal pe-duk, and a hard tchehrr".
