In northern Bolivia, this small flycatcher occurs in Amazonian river- and lake-edge forest and tall second growth.
It is about 8–8.5 cm long, with a dark gray crown and nape and crisp, short dark streaks on the throat and breast.
It forages alone or in pairs from the mid-levels to the canopy, making short sallies for arthropods on foliage and branches.
