Feeding Habits
Brown Nunlet's diet remains largely undocumented. Occasionally, brown Nunlet associates with antwren flocks for foraging, implying opportunistic feeding behavior in lower forest strata.
Habitat
Brown Nunlet primarily inhabits the understory to subcanopy layers of humid lowland terra firme forests, characterized by un-flooded, firm ground. It also resides in dense second-growth woodlands that have undergone some degree of regrowth after initial forest clearing. The species favors regions with moist, tropical climate conditions.
Dite type
