This flycatcher ranges through Central and South America. It often uses moist lowland forest and catches insects by darting from a perch.
It has a brown back, yellow underparts, a white throat, a broad white eyebrow, and rufous edges on the wing feathers. Its bill is short and stubby.
It most often uses moist lowland forest, usually below 1,000 m, though records reach about twice that elevation. It sallies from a perch to catch insects, often over water or into open areas.
