Description
Description
The cinnamon attila is found in one contiguous range centered on the Amazon Basin. In the southwest it is at the Basin's headwaters in Ecuador and Peru; in northwest Bolivia it is centered on headwater tributaries of the Amazon's Madeira River; in Bolivia's northeast it is only on the headwaters of the Guapore, (on the Brazil-Bolivia border), but not on downstream sections, that flow into the Madeira. Northwest of the Amazon Basin the continuous range extends into central and northeastern Colombia. In southeastern Venezuela, the cinnamon attila range occurs on the upper Orinoco River drainage; it continues into eastern and northeastern Venezuela and the Guianas, avoiding only the central Orinoco. Its range stays contiguous along the Caribbean coast through the Guianas and only ends south and southeast of the Amazon River outlet with Marajo Island, and the outlet of the downstream Tocantins River, in the northeastern Brazilian state of Maranhão on the Atlantic coast.

Feeding Habits
Cinnamon Attila primarily consumes large arthropods and small amphibians, supplementing this with fruit. Foraging alone or in pairs, cinnamon Attila is active mainly in forest mid-storey, employing sallying and fluttering to glean prey from foliage and branches.
Habitat
The 'cinnamon Attila' is typically found in moist, water-centric environments which include varied swampy forests such as várzea and igapó, as well as forest edges adjacent to sand ridges. Frequented habitats also encompass areas around ancient lakes, flooded oxbow lakes, alongside meandering streams, and on river islands. Additionally, it inhabits wet agricultural areas like plantation landscapes and is known to occupy swampy palm groves and mangroves, particularly within river deltas.
