Pale Baywing

The pale baywing is 19 cm (7 in) long. Males weigh an average of about 40 g (1.4 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly pale sandy brown head and body with a paler rump. Their upperwing is blackish brown with wide rufous-cinnamon edges whose color dominates the closed wing. Their tail is dusky. They have a dark brown iris, a black bill, and black legs and feet. Voice: The pale baywing's song is "a slow, hesitant sequence of descending whistles mixed with calls". Possibly both sexes sing, and the species does sing in groups. It also makes raspy or chattery calls and a "kwoink" contact call.
