Range
Found in Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Venezuela and the Guianas. In Suriname commonly found in forests of both the savanna areas and the interior.
Habitat
Tropical evergreen forests, swamp forest, lower montane forest and coffee plantations.
Reproduction
Nest is a shallow cup of plant fibre, placed in a chamber at the end of a tunnel (40-75 cm) excavated in a dirt bank. Clutch size 2-3 eggs incubated by both parents for about 3 weeks. Young are cared for by both sexes and fledge after about 18 days.
Feeding habits
Hunts for insects and small vertebrates in dense understorey and sometimes on ground. Forages in pairs or in mixed flocks by gleaning prey from mostly dead leafs.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 6,500,000 km2. The global population size has not been quantified, but it is believed to be large as the species is described as ‘common’ 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.
