Approximately 27 cm tall, it lives in hot places, brushwood, forest edges and savannahs. It can be found from the southern United States to Bolivia, Argentina, and throughout most of Brazil. When flying, it can be recognized by the white edges of the side rectrices and the furrowed inside surface of its wings.
