A close and little-known relative of the Rufous Hornero, the Wing-banded Hornero measures about 15 centimeters. Its plumage is brownish, except for the belly, chest and throat, which are white. It also has a thin white line just above the eyes. Its nest is built with mud, grass and vegetable fibers, and very similar to a Rufus Hornero nest. It vocalizes a lot while jumping on tree branches. It usually comes to the ground to look for clay for the nests and food, such as insects, larvae and even small fish. It can be seen occasionally on the football lawn of the Campus.
