Feeding Habits
Slaty-backed Chat-tyrant forages solitary or in pairs, frequently making aerial sallies from low perches to catch prey, and often returns to the same perch. It has a distinct preference for dark, cloudforest understories, and its diet typically includes insects gleaned during short-distance flights. Rarely joins mixed-species flocks, preferring well-spaced territories.
Habitat
The habitat of slaty-backed Chat-tyrant predominantly encompasses riparian zones within humid montane forests, shrubby second growth adjacent to ravines, and the edges of these forests. Slaty-backed Chat-tyrant is typically found in environments typified by moderate humidity and vegetation density, presenting an affinity for regions characterized by diverse plant growth stages and proximity to water sources.
