Feeding Habits
Unicolored Antwren primarily consumes small insects, such as orthopterans and moths, including their larvae, as well as spiders. They forage solo or in mixed-species flocks, often from 0.5 to 5 meters up in trees, shrubs, and vines. Unicolored Antwren employs perch-gleaning and short sallies to capture prey, frequently foraging in vine tangles and probing dead leaves.
Habitat
The unicolored Antwren predominantly inhabits the understory and mid-story of lowland evergreen forests and mature second-growth woodlands, which are characterized by a dense, non-herbaceous undergrowth filled with thin trunks, vines, and suspended dead leaves, typically on sandy soils. These birds are also found in restinga woodlands situated on white-sand soils, mainly within stunted forests where the canopy height ranges between 7–20 meters.
