Rusty-breasted Nunlet

Nonnula rubecula

Least Concern

The Rusty-breasted Nunlet is a sit-and-wait nunlet of Atlantic Forest and nearby eastern Brazilian woodland. 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.
