Short-tailed Antthrush

The short-tailed antthrush is 19 to 25 cm (7.5 to 9.8 in) long and weighs 64 to 112 g (2.3 to 4.0 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a rufescent brown or brown crown with a black spot on their forecrown. They have white lores and a white streak behind their eye on an otherwise brown face. Their back, wings, and uppertail coverts are olive brown. Their tail is brown with a black band near the end and thin buff or whitish tips on the feathers. Their throat is white. Voice: The short-tailed antthrush's song varies somewhat among the subspecies. One example is "a ventriloquial, trogon-like of about 10 accelerating and rising woo notes followed by an abruptly slowing and falling series of woop notes" (Colombia).
