Widespread across South America east of the Andes, from Colombia and Venezuela south to Paraguay and northern Argentina. Found in forest edges, clearings, and secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-canopy and at forest edges, foraging for insects and fruit. The male's head pattern is a key identifier.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Active throughout the day, often joining mixed-species flocks.
