Feeding Habits
Russet-winged Spadebill primarily consumes small arthropods like katydids, cockroaches, moths, and spiders. Forages alone, employing sit-and-wait tactics on tree perches 3–8 meters high to spot and scoop prey with rapid upward or diagonal sallies without pausing.
Habitat
The russet-winged Spadebill is typically found in the undergrowth of humid forests and mature secondary growth areas, which are characterized by dense vegetation with a variety of perching options provided by small saplings and lianas. These habitats are usually shaded with an open understory, favoring both coastal mountain regions and interior tableland forests.
