This small flycatcher is widespread in Amazonia. Its head, back and breast are grey, its belly yellowish, and it forages in secondary forest and scrub.
It is about 14.5 cm long, with a grey back, head and breast, a yellowish belly, two pale grey wing bars, a short thick black bill and a relatively long tail.
It forages in fallow scrub and secondary forest; the account suggests that it may be associated with watercourses.
