Range
South America : Amazonia
Habitat
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and heavily degraded former forest.
Reproduction
Builds a elongated paoch shaped nest with a side entrance. Nest is built by both adults, clutch usually two eggs incubated by female only. The young fledge after 15-19 days and are fed by both parents.
Feeding habits
Forages for insects in dense lower vegetation of moist areas. Also fairly high up in trees. Found alone or in pairs, it will sally upward to catch prey with an audible snap.
Conservation
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Migration
Sedentary throughout range.
