Feeding Habits
Tawny-faced Gnatwren primarily consumes ants, insects, and spiders. It forages actively in foliage, adept at gleaning prey from leaves and bark. Tawny-faced Gnatwren has specialized feeding techniques aiding in capturing small arthropods, highlighting an insectivorous diet with a preference for ants.
Habitat
Tawny-faced Gnatwren predominantly thrives in the lower growth of wet, humid forests and secondary woodlands. These birds are typically found across diverse primary ecoregions which include moist forest types such as the Isthmian-Atlantic, Chocó-Darién, Western Ecuador, Magdalena-Urabá, Napo, and Peruvian Yungas. They are usually observed below 750 meters elevation, and although rare, some may be encountered at forest edges.
