It has a plain brown plumage with a slightly streaked appearance on the underparts. This species is known for its distinctive behavior of creeping up tree trunks and branches in search of insects and small invertebrates. It has a strong, slightly curved bill, which it uses to probe and extract prey from crevices in the bark.
