Description

Habitat

Ecology: The type-specimens were collected in humid, mossy cloud-forest between 2,040 and 2,195 m. At Alto de los Galápagos, it has been recorded between 1,750 and 2,100 m 3,4. At Alto de Pisones, it inhabits dense, wet cloud-forest with numerous natural tree gaps breaking the canopy , on steep ridges between 1,600 and 1,800 m 3,5. The breeding season is thought to be concentrated in March and April5. It feeds primarily on fruit (stomachs of collected birds contained 70-90% fruit), but also insects when foraging in mixed-species flocks5.
