Masked Antpitta

The masked antpitta is about 14 cm (5.5 in) long. One male weighed 43 g (1.5 oz) and one female 38 g (1.3 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have white lores on an otherwise brown face, though with thin pale streaks on their ear coverts. Their crown and nape are gray that adds some olive by the base of the nape. Their upperparts are mostly pale brownish olive with even paler uppertail coverts and their tail is rufescent brown. Their flight feathers are dark brown with varying amounts of olive and cinnamon edges on the tertials. Voice: The masked antpitta's song is "a slow, trilling, slightly descending series of hollow and high-pitched cu notes" whose 40 or so notes last three or four seconds. One call is "a quick succession of 2-3 melodious fuí notes, followed by short, lower-pitched cuu. Another is a single note.
