Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small, short-tailed, plain gray wren. Note the thin white eyebrow. Found in the tangled understory of seasonally flooded Amazonian forests and adjacent clearings. The song is a loud repetition of “chu-choww” notes. Most likely to be confused with similar gray antbirds, which have shorter bills and unbarred tails.
