An abundant woodland species over the entire Caribbean lowlands and 

 lower slopes up to about 3,000 feet, and the Pacific slope from the Gulf of 

 Nicoya southward up to 1,500 feet. It is most abundant at about 500 to 

 1,000 feet in the Caribbean lowlands. Its habits are quite similiar to 

 Myiobius, except that it is not such a restless bird, remaining perched in 

 one place for a long time, darting out after an insect only at intervals. 

 It is partial to thick jungle or places where there are many vines hanging 

 from low trees. The nest is similar to that of Myiobius, only much smaller, 

 less elaborate, and rather loosely constructed. I found one hanging from 

 a vine about eight feet from the ground above an old abandoned path in 

 the forest. It contained two young birds.
