Found in parts of the Andes in northwestern South America, these tyrant flycatchers inhabit elfin forests and scrubby habitats. They feed on insects, often foraging alone or in pairs in the undergrowth. Breeding between April and November depending on the area of their range, they build domed cup nests from mosses, ferns, and other plant materials.
