Habitat: Although this species is rarely seen in Panama and most probably overlooked, we know that they prefer second-growth woodland and semiopen areas. Distribution: This species is migratory. It will breed in northern North America and will winter mainly in Amazonia, passing through the West Indies, and rarely in Costa Rica and Panama. Natural History Notes: This bird is insectivorous and will feed also on berries during winter. Conservation status according to IUCN 2008 Red list: Least Concern (LC). Characteristics: The total length of this species varies between 5 inches and 5.5 inches (measured from tip of bill to end of tail). In Panama, this bird will exhibit its nonbreeding plumage. This plumage consists of an olive coloration on the above with a black crown. The underparts are greenish to pale yellow and we can see that the belly is whitish and the under tail-coverts are white. Along the flanks and across the breast, we can distinguish fine olive-gray stripes. The legs have a pale gray coloration.
