A CERO report recorded an adult male foraging along a humid forest edge in Ecuador. A possibly different bird was reported to have a larger orange chest patch, and the reason for the difference is unresolved.
The reported adult male had an orange patch on its chest. A presumed different individual was reported with a distinctly larger patch.
In May 2019, one adult male was watched and photographed at close range while foraging along a humid forest border.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
