Forest edges, secondary growth, dense scrub, and gardens across much of southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its bright rufous cap and listen for its characteristic descending calls. It often perches somewhat openly on bushes or wires, making it easier to spot.
When to spot
Year-round. Very vocal during the breeding season (austral spring and summer). Most active in early mornings and late afternoons.
