The helmeted Pygmy Tyrant thrives in various woodland environments, often favoring terra firme and várzea forests, as well as their edges. It is also found in secondary growth and swampy or tall savanna woodland. Additionally, helmeted Pygmy Tyrant inhabits dry scrub areas on white sandy soils, typically in regions characterized by drier, more scrubby white-sand forests.
