Description:

It measures about 13 centimeters long. The bright yellow eyebrow is the best feature to identify it. It also has the meeting of the wing with the same bright yellow, but this area often is hidden by body feathers. The streaked plumage is dark brown and black, against the dominant gray.

Habitat:

It can be found throughout Brazil in dry fields with grass, closed, cultivated land and places with thickets of tall grass.
