skalik złotorzytny Salpinctes obsoletus

True to its name, almost always found in rocky areas, especially on rocky slopes. Pale grayish wren with rather long, slightly decurved bill. Also look for fine salt-and-pepper speckling on upperparts, light buffy wash on sides, and black-and-white bars on undertail coverts. Southernmost birds, especially in Honduras, are more heavily marked. Often perches conspicuously and bobs up and down. Compare with Canyon Wren, which can be found in similar habitats. Rock Wren is paler overall and lacks rich rufous tones. Listen for ringing song and calls.
