Range
Found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Honduras, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Habitat
Humid lowland and montane humid forest. Prefers open tree gaps and sometimes found in semi-deciduous foerst.
Reproduction
Hardly any information, clutch is 2 eggs, incubated by female.
Feeding habits
Largely dependent on insects caught in the understorey and mid level strata. Mostly small beetles and ants but also small vertebrates like lizards. Mostly pecks and glenas, but will also sally for prey. Solitary in pairs or mixed species flocks as well as in understorey and (less frequent) canopy.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 5,400,000 km2. The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population size criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e., less than 10,000 mature individuals in conjunction with appropriate decline rates and subpopulation qualifiers), even though the species is described as ‘uncommon’ in at least parts of its range (Stotz et al. 1996). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e., declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Migration
Sedentary throughout range.
