Um pássaro pequeno de plumagem predominantemente marrom com manchas e listras mais escuras, apresentando tons de castanho e fulvo. O corpo é compacto e arredondado, com um bico curto e fino. A postura é relaxada, com o corpo apoiado. Penas espalhadas ao redor, indicando possível predação. Segurado na boca de um canídeo.
