starts withThe Peruvian wren is 15.5 to 16 cm (6.1 to 6.3 in) long and weighs 19.6 g (0.69 oz). The adults' upperparts are rich chestnut, with the crown and rump being redder. They have a variable amount of white on the face. The tail is also rich chestnut and has narrow black bars. The chin and throat are orange-brown and the chest, belly, and flanks are the same hue but darker. The juvenile is believed to resemble the adult but with no white on the face.
The Peruvian wren is found in the Andes of Peru between the departments of Amazonas and Ayacucho. It inhabits wet montane forest, secondary forest, and their edges. In elevation it ranges from 1,500 to 3,300 m (4,900 to 10,800 ft).
The Peruvian wren forages in groups that appear to be extended families. It usually feeds on or near the ground in vegetation and litter, but its diet has not been documented.
The Peruvian wren appears to have a protracted breeding season, base on the dates that occupied nests, newly hatched chicks, and fledglings have been observed. One nest has been described; it was a pouch with a down-facing entrance tunnel, constructed of rootlets, moss, and bamboo leaves, and suspended from a bamboo stem.
The IUCN has assessed the Peruvian wren as being of Least Concern. It is "uite common in suitable habitat in parts of its range" butits "population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and fragmentation."
