The throat is slightly paler with some buff speckling, there is a hint of a pale stripe over the eye and there is a faint reddish-brown bar on the wing. The bill is quite long, stout and slightly downcurved with a pale yellow spot at the base (lacking in Falkland birds). The song and calls are loud and high-pitched. The trilling song may be uttered from a perch or in flight.

Feeding Habits
Blackish Cinclodes primarily feeds on small invertebrates, supplementing its diet with fish regurgitated by seabirds, human leftovers, and carrion scraps. It forages in seaweed and by water edges, uniquely exploiting diverse food sources.
Habitat
The habitat of blackish Cinclodes encompasses coastal areas, predominantly rocky shores with kelp, and tussac grass terrains. They thrive in proximity to marine mammal and seabird colonies and can be found from sea level up to 200 meters in elevation. Their range covers broad southern latitudes, extending slightly inland within territories including the Falkland Islands and southern extremities of South America.
