Chunky owlet with a gray head and spotted, rufous-washed underparts. There are three white spots on top of the tail which can be conspicuous in flight. Found in humid forest. Often active and vocal during the day, when it is often mobbed by angry flocks of songbirds. The main call is a very slow series of hoots. Similar in structure to Sjöstedt’s Owlet, but smaller, without bars below.

    I read that as rufous- washed underpants, and that painted a fun image in my mind.

    Somewhat rude to call it chunky, though. Let’s say healthy.

      I greatly enjoyed the wording they chose for their description, which I thought you all would also appreciate. I see I was correct!

      No one enjoys unwashed underpants.
