Ticotico Lomicanelo

Ave de tamaño mediano y colores intensos de los bosques pantanosos. Mayormente marrón rufescente con una corona y dorso de color marrón oscuro y una cola de color naranja-rufo brillante. Muestra una ceja prominente que se extiende bastante por detrás del ojo, como otras especies del género. Ocurre principalmente en los niveles inferiores de bosques de tierras bajas estacionalmente inundados, pantanos de palmas y bosques con un sotobosque denso de heliconias o palmas donde es poco común y rara vez se ve. Forrajea insectos sondeando hojas muertas colgantes o detritos acumulados en las bases de las frondas de palma, a veces con bandadas mixtas, pero a menudo se encuentra lejos de ellas. Las vocalizaciones, fuertes pero infrecuentes, incluyen un trino ascendente extraordinariamente largo y un parloteo abrasivo, este último emitido en señal de alarma. Se distingue mejor de otras especies por las partes inferiores y la cola de color canela brillante que contrastan con el dorso marrón.
