This small bird was studied in populations of Colombia’s Magdalena Valley. It searches foliage in scrub and woodland for small invertebrates.
Its upperparts are olive-green, with brighter green wings and rump. A yellowish ring surrounds the eye, and the underparts are yellowish.
It uses dry scrub, mangroves, secondary growth, and deciduous woodland. It gleans small invertebrates from foliage.
