Habitat:
It is a lowland specialist, inhabiting forest understorey and secondary growth from sea-level to at least 1,050 m. Although it frequents watercourses, mainly small streams, probably for foraging, any association with them appears to be no more incidental than obligate. Its distribution strongly suggests it prefers regions of high rainfall (D. Allen in litt. 2012).
Range:
Ceyx melanurus is endemic to the Philippines, where the nominate melanurus is known from the islands of Luzon, Polillo, Alabat, Catanduanes and possibly Tablas (although no recent records/claims from the latter), and C. m. samarensis occurs on Samar and Leyte (Dickinson et al. 1991, del Hoyo et al. 2001).
Conservation:
