Endemic to the understory of humid lowland forests on white-sand soils in the northern Amazon basin, specifically southern Venezuela and adjacent northern Brazil.
How to spot
Requires visiting its specific, restricted habitat. Listen for its distinctive song, which is often the most reliable way to detect its presence.
When to spot

This species is a localized specialist, restricted to the unique dry, sandy-soil forests (known as 'campinas' or 'sabanas') of the northern Amazon basin.
