Distributed in humid montane forests and cloud forests along the Andes, from northern Ecuador through Peru to Bolivia, typically at higher elevations.
How to spot
Search for it in the understory and mid-story of dense montane forest. Look for its dusky cheeks and listen for its distinctive calls while it forages, often with mixed flocks.
When to spot
Most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially mornings. It is a resident species and can be found year-round.
