This flycatcher breeds in forests of southeastern Brazil. Records from Minas Gerais describe nests hanging over small streams from roots or fern leaves, and blue-toned plumage in young birds near fledging.
Young birds near fledging are described with blue-purple head feathers, a blue-green back, blue-gray wings, and brown tones on the belly.
In Minas Gerais, pouch-shaped nests were observed near streams. Records describe nests attached to tree roots or fern leaves above small streams.
