Habitat

Stands of guadua bamboo in lowland and foothill evergreen forest. Occurs up to 1000 m.

Behaviour

Feeds on insects, probably also on spiders.
Forages in pairs or family groups mostly 5 to 10 m above the ground. Sometimes in mixed-species flocks with other insectivores as these move through its territory.
