This distinctive wren is unmistakable with its boldly patterned plumage, including the dark bib, spotted streaks on the underparts and bold white eyebrow.
One of the largest wrens in North America, this bird also has a unique sound that can be useful for birding by ear. As a state bird, it is popular with Arizona residents because it will readily come to backyards, particularly if ground-feeding areas and native plants are available.
