Introduction
A very poorly known and uncommon member of the Furnariidae, the Double-banded Graytail is largely grayish-olive above, becoming slightly darker over the crown, with two white wingbars and a narrow white supercilium, and paler underparts. Its tail is graduated, and the species regularly hangs upside-down while foraging. Like its apparent sister-species, the Equatorial Graytail (Xenerpestes singularis), which is confined to the east-slope foothills of Ecuador and northern Peru, this species generally joins large mixed-species feeding flocks, and also has dry ‘reeling’ song. The Double-banded Graytail occurs from eastern Panama into northern Colombia and south to northwest Ecuador, and is found from the lowlands to approximately 900 m.
