Five subspecies are recognized[1].

  • M. f. fasciatus:
  • M. f. saturatus:
  • Eastern Peru (San Martín to central Cuzco)
  • M. f. auriceps :
  • M. f. flammiceps:

Habitat

Dry forests and forest edges. Hedgerows, pastures and bush savanna.

Behaviour

Diet

Their diet consists almost entirely of insects such as small beetles, ants, wasps and flies. They also eat some berries.

Breeding

They build a deep cup nest from stems and bark, lined with fine plant fibres. It is suspended from a side branch low in a tree. The clutch contains 2 cream eggs with a rufous ring; they are incubated by the female for 17 days; the young fledge 15-17 days later.

The nest is parasitised by the Shiny Cowbird.

Vocalisation

The call is a whistled chep, chewee.
