Feeding Habits
Rufous-breasted Leaftosser primarily consumes invertebrates like spiders, beetles, and hemipterans. Typically found alone or in pairs, rufous-breasted Leaftosser forages terrestrially, hopping and flaking through leaf litter to uncover prey, rather than walking.
Habitat
The rufous-breasted Leaftosser primarily occupies the understorey of humid evergreen forests, both in lowland and montane regions. Its environment typically includes dense, mature forests and occasionally well-established secondary woodlands. These habitats are embedded within broader tropical areas, sometimes adjoining semi-arid regions, and exhibit high levels of moisture critical for the rufous-breasted Leaftosser's survival, supporting a rich understory where it can forage.
