Feeding Habits
Rusty-belted Tapaculo primarily consumes terrestrial insects, particularly Hemiptera. It forages alone or in pairs, utilizing a slow-paced walk or hop on the forest floor, often using fallen trunks as pathways to pick up its prey directly from the litter.
Habitat
The habitat of rusty-belted Tapaculo primarily consists of humid terra firme forests, where they are frequently observed in areas surrounding treefalls and, to a lesser extent, within seasonally flooded forests known as várzea. These birds are terrestrial in nature and often vocalize from the ground or low branches. They predominantly reside in lowland regions.
