This bird is fairly active and will fly to catch insects or will catch them from the foliage. Its call consists of a sharp "skeeey, di-i-i-i-i-ir".

Characteristics: This species has a total length of 5.25 inches (measured from tip of bill to end of tail). This bird has a black iris, a rather long pointed bill and a long tail. Its common name comes from the dark gray coloration of the crown (top of the head) and the dark gray ear-coverts. The facial area is whitish but with some dark gray little spots. Otherwise, the plumage is mostly olive green above and the tail is more brown. The wings are dark gray and we can see two yellowish wing-bars and the beige edges of the flight feathers. Then, the throat is pale yellow, becoming olive on the breast and more yellow on the belly.
