Ticking Doradito

The ticking doradito is about 12.5 cm (4.9 in) long and weighs 7.5 to 10 g (0.26 to 0.35 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly dull olive-brown head and upperparts. Their crown is rufescent, their lores and cheeks are dusky, and their tail is dusky olive-brown. Their wings are dull olive-brown with cinnamon edges on the flight feathers and tips on the wing coverts; the last show as two thin wing bars. Their throat and underparts are lemon yellow. Both sexes have a medium brown iris and dark gray legs and feet. Voice: The ticking doradito's song is "a series of notes starting with low clicking sounds (like pebbles being struck together) repeated slowly, then with increasing rapidity before an abrupt termination, e.g., 'tick, tick, tick, tick-tick-tick-you' or 'tic tic tic tic tic tirik-tirik' ". It also makes a "tek" call.
