Bolivian records describe this bird eating mainly fruit among dense foliage in the canopy and subcanopy. The male and female also differ in some plumage features.
The photograph captions describe the male as lacking yellow on the front of the head. The female is described as yellow-olive, with a pale belly and gray nape.
Bolivian records describe pairs or groups in the subcanopy and canopy, sometimes in mixed-species flocks. The species feeds mainly on fruit, including Cecropia and melastome fruits.
