Feeding Habits

It exhibits a unique hunting style with prolonged pauses and keen peering before hover-gleaning or making brief flights to capture food.
Habitat
Amazonian Scrub Flycatcher primarily resides in scrubby clearings as well as along the edges of forests and rivers. It shows a preference for moderately moist habitats in comparison to its closely related species. It is generally found in broad tropical regions, typically at lower altitudes in areas characterized by a rich vegetation mosaic that provides ample foraging opportunities.
