Found in the northern Andes and adjacent areas of South America, including parts of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. It inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests.
How to spot
Look for its dusky cap contrasting with its olive body. Listen for its characteristic, often repetitive, high-pitched calls and songs. Scan the mid-story of montane forests, as it can be easily overlooked.
