A general term for birds in the family Troglodytidae, or one of the species. Troglodytidae birds are small, measuring 10-22cm in length, with most species measuring less than 15cm in length, with a long, slender beak that curves slightly downward and sturdy legs that are long for their body. Their plumage is generally brown or gray-brown above with black or white horizontal stripes, and light brown or white below. They live alone in pairs in deserts, rocky areas, marshes, and forests, and move actively around in thick brush close to the ground and among rocks, feeding on small insects and spiders.
