It is a bird of humid and wet forest, including secondary growth and plantations, and it is especially associated with thick, shady, damp understorey, often in ravines. In Costa Rica it is mainly found in the highlands, while in Panama it occurs in the west. The sexes look alike, and adults show a dark olive face with white streaking and a small white mark behind the eye.
