On a visual approach to Runway 16L to the RNO airport we received a EGPWS Pull Up Warning. The warning came as I was telling the First Officer who was the Pilot Flying that he looked low. The First Officer disengaged the autopilot and began an aggressive climb.  We rejoined the glidepath and landed. I believe I had expectation bias that he would recognize that we were getting low. The truth is we were momentarily in the red and thanks to the aircraft warning we made a recovery.
During descent into RNO landing [Runway] 16L on downwind; the Controller cleared us for the visual to after another aircraft that was on final.  Slightly past abeam that aircraft and at 9;000 ft. MSL; I squared the turn to base and began a descent and then angled the turn to final and select LNAV.  We intercepted final and as we rolled out still descending and I noticed; as did the PM; that we were low.  As I was arresting the descent and rolling out; an EGPWS took place. We initiated an escape maneuver with an aggressive climb and corrected and climbed up onto the approach path.
