Feeding Habits
Spotted Puffbird consumes a varied diet including insects and small reptiles, particularly favoring caterpillars, beetles, and spiders. Its hunting technique involves still-hunting from perches, punctuated by quick strikes to catch prey. Dusk often sees spotted Puffbird catching hawkmoths and it may also eat mistletoe berries. Occasionally, it exploits army ants to find food.
Habitat
Spotted Puffbird typically inhabits varied forest types, including várzea and igapó forests, as well as the borders of humid forests and mature secondary growths. They are also found in sandy savanna woodlands, sand-ridge forests, gallery forests amidst cerrado vegetation, and palm groves. In addition, they occupy marshy areas, shrubbery, and bushes, often preferring surroundings near water. While they seldom reside in deep forests, they do occasionally perch in relatively open spaces.
