Female has chestnut underparts, face and rump, duller chestnut-brown crown, wings and tail, with slaty-gray back, shoulders and sides. Forages on the ground where it usually stays hidden but also known to hop around rocks above the treeline. More often heard than seen. Song is an atmospheric, up-and-down series of long, metallic notes. Call, a sharp “click!”
