- C. n. nobilis:
- C. n. fulvipectus:
- North-central Amazonian Brazil (left bank of Tapajós near Santarém, Pará)
Birds from east-central Amazonian Brazil (River Purus east to River Madeira) are not yet assigned to a subspecies.
Habitat
Moist lowland forests, especially terra firme forest with sparse undergrowth. Occurs in the lowlands up to 700m, occasionally higher.
Behaviour
Diet
Not known.
Forages singly or in pairs, walking slowly on the forest floor.
