Where to spot
Tropical and subtropical humid forests, primarily in the Amazon basin and surrounding areas of South America, extending into parts of Central America. Inhabits the undergrowth and lower to mid-canopy.
How to spot
Its loud, far-carrying calls are the best way to find this bird. Once located, watch patiently for movements among leaves, as it primarily gleans arthropods from foliage and dead branches.
When to spot
Can be observed throughout the year during daytime. Activity may increase early in the morning and late afternoon.

This species has a remarkable ability to blend into its dense forest habitat, often being heard rather than seen, making its vocalizations crucial for detection.
