This medium-sized wren has a very limited range in the Cauca Valley in Colombia. It is warm rufous-brown above and white below with a white eyebrow and faintly striped cheeks. The tail and undertail coverts are barred. Sexes similar. Pairs are found in dry forests, where they forage among thickets and vine tangles in the understory. Like many wrens, can be difficult to see, but listen for its relatively low-pitched flutey song.
Exotic species flags differentiate locally introduced species from native species.
Naturalized: Exotic population is self-sustaining, breeding in the wild, persisting for many years, and not maintained through ongoing releases (including vagrants from Naturalized populations). These count in official eBird totals and, where applicable, have been accepted by regional bird records committee(s).
Provisional: Either: 1) member of exotic population that is breeding in the wild, self-propagating, and has persisted for multiple years, but not yet Naturalized; 2) rarity of uncertain provenance, with natural vagrancy or captive provenance both considered plausible. When applicable, eBird generally defers to bird records committees for records formally considered to be of "uncertain provenance". Provisional species count in official eBird totals.
Escapee: Exotic species known or suspected to be escaped or released, including those that have bred but don't yet fulfill the criteria for Provisional. Escapee exotics do not count in official eBird totals.
