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.
Reproduction
The nest is usually built in a small tree in a mature floodplain forest located in a relatively open area with little vegetation cover in the understory. The nest, an unlined bulky cup made of dry leaves, is constructed among the branches of an epiphytic fern which was attached to the tree?s trunk about 2 meter above the ground. The walls of the upper part of the nest are very thin, consisting of a single layer of leaves. Clutch size is 2 eggs.
Feeding habits
Forages alone for insects by perching and hover-gleaning insects from foliage. Will also take fruit.
Conservation
This species has a large range, with an estimated global extent of occurrence of 6,700,000 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.
