Humid lowland and foothill forests, forest edges, and dense secondary growth, across much of Central and South America, from southern Mexico to northern Argentina.
How to spot

This species exhibits marked sexual dimorphism, with females having a distinct rufous crown and underparts, making them look quite different from the boldly barred males.
