Conservation

This species has a large range, extending from the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia across the Amazon basin to the east coast of Brazil and the Guianas. It inhabits tropical lowland and montane evergreen forest, where it forages mainly in the subcanopy, gleaning arthropods from dead leaves. It frequently associates with mixed-species flocks (Remsen 2003). It has an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 5,440,000 km2. The global population size has not been quantified, but it is believed to be large as the species is described as ‘fairly 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.
