Feeding Habits
Rufous-brown Solitaire's diet consists primarily of fruit, with an assumption of some invertebrates. Rufous-brown Solitaire actively forages at fruiting trees, favoring Melastomataceae, and uses both sally-stalls and perch-gleaning methods. Rufous-brown Solitaire may forage solitarily or occasionally join mixed-species flocks.
Habitat
The rufous-brown Solitaire typically inhabits humid and wet montane forests, often with mossy undergrowth, as well as the dense secondary growth along forest edges. These environments are characterized by their lush vegetation and frequent rainfall, supporting a diverse ecosystem where rufous-brown Solitaire thrives. Broader geographical regions where these habitats prevail include foothills and slopes of elevated terrains across various parts of South America.
