Description
The ornate stipplethroat grows is between 10 and 11 cm (3.9 and 4.3 in) in length. The male has a grey head, neck and underparts, a black throat, a blackish tail and wings (with white tipped wing coverts), and a rufous back and rump throughout most of the bird's range; southern subspecies in Peru have a grey or greyish-brown back and rump. The female is similar but has a black and white speckled throat and buff underparts. The song is a high-pitched series of whistles, descending and getting faster.

Habitat
The ornate Stipplethroat is typically found in the understorey and midstorey layers of lowland and foothill evergreen forests. This bird favors a variety of forest types, including terra firme, transitional, and flooded forests such as várzea and igapó. The ornate Stipplethroat occupies a wide distribution in forests where no closely related species is present and selects specific habitats, such as extensive Guadua bamboo stands, forest-edge vine tangles, and riverine areas with associated second growth when in locales with similar species. Habitual coexistence with the White-eyed Stipplethroat is noted in bamboo habitats within certain regional forests.
