Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Small brownish wren with extensive variation across range. Usually rather plain overall, with dark barring on the wings and tail. Lacks white eyebrow. Especially variable in the Caribbean; some populations are rich rusty-brown overall, others are almost white below. Occurs in a variety of open or semiopen habitats, including suburbs, parks, rural farmland, and woodland edge with thick tangles. Often perches conspicuously when singing, but otherwise fairly secretive. Listen for bubbly song of chatters and trills, and harsh scolding calls.
