The flammulated treehunter is a sister species of the uniform treehunter (T. ignobilis) and Peruvian treehunter (T. scrutator). It has two subspecies, the nominate T. f. flammulatus (Eyton, 1849) and T. f. bricenoi (Berlepsch, 1907).
The flammulated treehunter is 24 to 25 cm (9.4 to 9.8 in) long and weighs 50 to 62 g (1.8 to 2.2 oz). It is the largest and most strikingly patterned member of its genus. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a blackish face and crown with sharp tawny-buff streaks that are rather golden on the crown. Their lores are speckled with blackish and golden buff. Their back is browner than the face and crown, with its blackish only along the feather shafts, and it blends to the rich medium brown rump. Their uppertail coverts are dark reddish brown. Their wing coverts are more rufescent than the back and with narrower streaks, their flight feathers dark rufescent brown, and their tail dull...
