This flycatcher occurs in Antioquia and eastern Caldas in northern Colombia. It inhabits moist lowland forest and has prominent yellow markings around the eye and across the face.
The account describes a gray crown, yellowish-white lores, a yellow face and ear coverts, and a broken eye-ring.
It is recorded in moist lowland forest at about 450–900 m. The source says published diet information is sparse, so no food is specified.
