Rio Madeira Stipplethroat

The Rio Madeira stipplethroat is 10 to 11 cm (3.9 to 4.3 in) long and weighs 8.7 to 9 g (0.31 to 0.32 oz). Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a mottled yellowish brown face and a white throat with black streaks. They have a dark yellowish brown crown, a slightly redder nape, and a dark red mantle, back, rump, and uppertail coverts. Their tail is olive-gray. Their primary wing coverts are blackish with reddish tips, the rest of the wing coverts dark brown with yellowish buff tips, and the flight feathers dark red. Their underparts are gray. Their iris is brownish red. Voice: The Rio Madeira stipplethroat's song is similar to that of the rufous-backed stipplethroat, which is an "extr. high, very thin, descending, rapid shiver 'tsititi---' " that lasts two or three seconds but slower and with longer notes and intervals between them.
