Grallaria antpittas are a "wonderful group of plump and round antbirds whose feathers are often fluffed up...they have stout bills very short tails". The moustached antpitta is 15 to 19 cm (5.9 to 7.5 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a brown forecrown and a gray hindcrown and nape with black scaled appearance. They have a mostly olive brown face with a wide light buff "moustache". Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive brown with thin blackish edges on the back feathers that give a scaly appearance. Voice: As of late 2024, xeno-canto had no recordings of Tachira antpitta vocalizations. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library has a few.
