Gray-cheeked Nunlet

Nonnula frontalis

Least Concern

The Gray-cheeked Nunlet is a sit-and-wait nunlet of Amazonian and northern South American lowland forests. It watches from exposed or shaded perches, then darts out for insects, spiders, and small vertebrates, nesting in burrows or cavities depending on the species. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though intact forest, woodland, and nesting sites remain important locally.
