Pale-tipped Inezia

The pale-tipped inezia is about 12 cm (4.7 in) long and weighs 7.5 to 10 g (0.26 to 0.35 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have an olive-brown to grayish brown crown with a grayer forecrown and lower edge. Their face is mostly grayish with a white supercilium and broken white eye-ring that together look like spectacles. A dusky line passes through the eye. Their back and rump are olive-brown to grayish brown. Voice: The pale-tipped inezia is "often quite vocal". Its song during the day is "a rather loud TEEP! tedede, or Teep, tee'r'r...or longer, descending TEEP! tee-de-dear". Its dawn song is similar "but faster and repeated over and over". Members of a pair often sing in duet. The species' calls include "an abbreviated pit note pew or chew notes". The last two may be single or repeated up to about 15 times.
