Adult males are mostly black with a usually concealed white patch between their scapulars. Adult females have a blackish gray forecrown, lores, and face. Their crown, upperparts, and wings are rufous-brown and their tail dark reddish brown. Their throat is white. Their underparts are mostly light cinnamon with tawny flanks and crissum. Voice: The song of Goeldi's antbird is "a series...beginning with 3 soft, rapidly delivered notes, first longer than second but shorter than third, followed by evenly paced series of downslurred whistles, notes shorter than intervals". One author writes it as "her-her hEEr hEEr hEEr hEEr". Its call is "a slow, electric chatter cher'che'che'che'che'che".
