Range
It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
Habitat
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. Found throughout Amazonia, this bird is usually unnoticed in forests and capoeiras because it perches very high up and is very quiet.
Reproduction
The nest is an untidy large ball made out of dead grass. It has a side entrance and is built 10-20 meter above ground. Both sexes participate in the nest building. No further data
Feeding habits
It lives alone or in pairs, sometimes joining mixed-species flocks in canopies or edges of forests. It captures insects during flight and also feeds on fruit.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 6,900,000 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.
