Habitat:
It occurs in humid, montane forest and edge at elevations above 450 m (Meyer de Schauensee and Phelps 1978, Carroll 1994, Parker et al. 1996). Foraging birds appear to favour areas with a high frequency of non-palm monocotyledons, high vertical foliage density, and a low frequency of palms (Bactris spp.) (Bonaccorso and Barreto 2002). Little information is available on diet, however it is known to consume seeds, fruits, insects and worms (Carroll et al. 2020).
