Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: It is found in the dense understorey of a few remaining primary
and secondary forest
patches. It has been observed in scrubby edges
of managed "coffee forest", but is probably dependent
on nearby, more intact forest. It is probably exclusively insectivorous
, gleaning insects from leaves and branches of undergrowth. Its breeding ecology is unknown although birds in breeding condition have been found in September.[1]
