Varied Solitaire

The varied solitaire is 16 to 18 cm (6.3 to 7.1 in) long and weighs 24 to 34 g (0.85 to 1.2 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a smudgy blackish forehead, face, and chin on an otherwise pale slate-gray head and neck. Their back, rump, and uppertail coverts are warm brown. Their wings have warm brown upperwing coverts and blackish primary coverts and flight feathers. Their tail is blackish with paler outer feathers and pale gray feather tips. Their underparts are pale slate-gray. They have a yellow bill and yellow legs and feet. Voice: The varied solitaire's song is "a leisurely series of drawn-out single notes or flute-like phrases with intervening pauses of 3–6 seconds, sometimes with a few less musical notes interspersed".
