At Mexico’s Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve, researchers caught this species in both wet and dry seasons, but recorded fewer captures in the dry season and more in deciduous than semi-deciduous forest.
The Mexican Birding identification note describes males as bright red from the chest to the vent with a distinct white eyebrow; females are grayish-buff with a pinkish vent.
The study found cup-shaped nests in June and July, 48–103 cm above ground in saplings no taller than 2 m. Clutches contained 3–4 eggs, and only females incubated.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
