Appearance

It is a fairly large member of its genus and has a heavy bill. The sexes have the same plumage, that is similar to that of the formerly conspecific white-eyed foliage-gleaner. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a dark brownish face with faint reddish streaks on the ear coverts, grizzled reddish brown and buffy lores, and a white malar area.

The Pernambuco foliage-gleaner is 19 to 20 cm (7.5 to 7.9 in) long.

Range and habitat

The Pernambuco foliage-gleaner is found in the Pernambuco Center of Endemism, in the far eastern Brazilian states of Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and Sergipe. It inhabits tropical evergreen forest and mature secondary forest. In elevation it ranges from near sea level to about 550 m (1,800 ft).

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.

Diet and breeding

Details about the Pernambuco foliage-gleaner's diet are lacking, though it is known to feed on arthropods. It usually forages as part of a mixed-species feeding flock, and tends to mostly stay low in dense growth in the forest's understory.

It gleans and pulls its prey from dead leaves, debris, and epiphytes. Nothing is known about the Pernambuco foliage-gleaner's breeding biology.
