It is found in Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and subtropical or tropical mangrove forest.

Feeding Habits
Rufous-necked Wood-rail primarily feasts on crabs and various aquatic invertebrates, employing foraging techniques that capitalize on its natural habitat. This bird showcases unique dietary adaptations favoring these prey, indicative of a specialized alimentary niche.
Habitat
Rufous-necked Wood-rail thrives in diverse environments, primarily favoring mangroves. However, the species is also prevalent in the interior regions of humid forests, which may include secondary humid montane forests. Rufous-necked Wood-rail occupies a range of elevational zones, from lowland areas to high elevations up to approximately 1400 meters. This variety in habitat preference indicates that rufous-necked Wood-rail might exhibit elevational migration, possibly inhabiting mangrove ecosystems predominantly during the nonbreeding season across its broader neotropical distribution.
