Thrush-like Antpitta

The thrush-like antpitta is about 14.5 to 15 cm (5.7 to 5.9 in) long and weighs between 39.5 and 64 g (1.4 and 2.3 oz). The sexes have the same plumage and the subspecies differ little from each other. Adults of the nominate subspecies M. c. campanisona have a small white spot behind their eye. Most of the rest of their face is rufous-brown with slightly paler and grayer lores. Their crown, nape, upperparts, and tail are rufous-brown. Their wings are mostly rufous-brown with dark brown inner webs and paler edges on the flight feathers. Their throat and underparts are white. Voice: The thrush-like antpitta typically sings from the ground or a low perch within dense vegetation. One description of its song, from Ecuador, is "a series of 4-6 hollow whistled notes, delivered quite quickly, 'whoh-whoh-whoh-whoh-whoh-whoh' " and may be repeated for long stretches.
