Feeding Habits
Slaty-capped Flycatcher predominantly feeds on arthropods and augments its diet with small fruits and berries. It employs active foraging techniques, often hunting from perches. Unique adaptations include a specialized bill for insect capture.
Habitat
The slaty-capped Flycatcher typically inhabits the middle storey to lower canopy of mid-elevation, humid montane forests and foothills. Found within altitudes ranging from 400 m to 2400 m, the species adapts to a variety of vegetation including second-growth woodland, and is sometimes spotted at forest edges or within bushy coffee plantations. Though primarily linked to mountainous regions, the slaty-capped Flycatcher may descend to lower elevations, particularly in specific areas of Western Ecuador and Colombia.
