ID tip
The pink-legged graveteiro's most distinctive feature is, as the name suggests, its bright-pink legs and feet. The plumage, as an adult, is mainly black and gray, although juveniles are commonly more brown in color. Its size is comparable to that of a warbler at about 14 centimetres (5.5 in) as an adult, and the graveteiro is thought to be stout for a bird its size. One way to tell you have found a pink-legged graveteiro is by its unique song, usually high-pitched and beginning with sparse notes, then it accelerating, and finally finishing with a long trill.
