The sandy gallito (Teledromas fuscus) is a species of suboscine passerine bird in the family Rhinocryptidae, the tapaculos.

In the adult, the crown of the head, back, and wings are light cinnamon as are the central feathers of the tail.

The throat and chest are white, blending to light cinnamon on the flanks and vent area.

[4] The sandy gallitos's nest is an open cup of grass, usually constructed at the end of a tunnel up to 50 cm (20 in) long.

Though its population has not been determined, it is believed to be stable and the species is thought to be fairly common.
