Habitat
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and heavily degraded former forest.

Nest is a ball with a tail and side entrance, hanging from a branch. Usually build nest higher above ground than congeners do. No further data.
Feeding habits
Forages by short sallies to catch insects. Mostly high up in canopy or forest edges.
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.
