This large wren has a striking white eyebrow and rufous-brown back. It uses dry scrub and cactus habitat, and family groups call to one another.
The crown and nape are dark brown, with a white eyebrow above the eye. The back is rufous-brown, the underparts are white, and the outer tail feathers have white tips and dark bars.
At the university campus, pairs were observed inspecting palm fronds at different heights. The guide also records family groups and duetting calls between mates.
