A flightless rail with a plain rufous back and neck, a plain gray throat and narrow eyebrow, a dark bill, and underparts barred brown and white. Seemingly tolerant of a wide variety of habitats, including secondary forest and gardens. Similar to Buff-banded Rail, but underparts barred brown-and-white, not black-and-white, and upperparts much plainer. Call is reportedly a rapidly repeated high-pitched “ki-ti-ki-ti-ki-ti.”
