It has a greyish-brown capped head, dark brown ear coverts with two broad whitish-grey bands narrowing towards the neck, greyish-brown upperparts with white-tipped wings that look striped, a short blackish tail with white bands, and white lores and throat leading into dirty-white underparts (Wikipedia, general species account).
