Riparian Antbird

The riparian antbird is 14 to 15 cm (5.5 to 5.9 in) long. Males are almost entirely dark gray, though a slightly lighter gray on their underparts. They have a mostly concealed white patch between their scapulars, a small white patch on the scapulars, and narrow white tips on their wing coverts. Females have a rufous-tinged tawny crown; their upperparts and wings are brownish olive with a small white interscapular patch. Their forehead and face are orange-tawny. Their tail is gray with an olivaceous tinge on the feather edges. Voice: The male riparian antbird's song is "a low-pitched introductory note followed by a rattle of descending notes, sounding like 'what cheer' ". The female's song is similar to that of female blackish antbirds (which see here) but has a higher pitch.
