Feeding Habits
Sepia-capped Flycatcher primarily consumes insects and small fruits. It employs active foraging techniques, often hunting from perches. It has a notable preference for flying insects, which it catches mid-air, demonstrating specialized aerial hunting skills.
Habitat
Sepia-capped Flycatcher predominantly resides in the under- and midstory layers of lowland evergreen forests, where they leverage the dense vegetation for foraging. Their presence extends to tall secondary growths, reminiscent of former agricultural plantations like those of cacao. Sepia-capped Flycatcher is also locally found in semi-deciduous and gallery forests across broad Neotropical regions. These habitats offer the complex structure and food resources needed for their survival.
