Identify those by the heavy bill and usually clearly visible post ocular whitish spot (both sexes) / pale moustachial streak (female). Sometimes these latter two marks can be more difficult to discern but should be present, and on close inspection the ground colour should have at least a hint of cinnamon.
Distribution
South America: found in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
