Tawny-throated Leaftosser

This roughly thrush-sized bird measures 15–17 cm in length and weighs 24-30 g. Its coloration is quite uniformly a rich chestnut brown. The tail is darker, the breast, rump and head are lighter and tinged rufous, though the crown and cheek region are as dark as the body, with some greyish hue to the cheeks. Its iris is dusky brown, the feet are blackish brown. The bill is very long and thin, perhaps by proportion the longest and thinnest of all Furnariidae. It is blackish brown above, and whitish, horn-colored or dark grey below; the tip is black.

The Tawny-throated Leaftosser is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
