Distribution
The grey-cheeked nunlet has a relatively large range which extends from central Panama to north-central Colombia. Within this area, it inhabits the lower levels of moist lowland forests, including riverine patches, second growth woodlands, and thickets. This species also occurs in heavily degraded former forests.
Behavior
This nunlet occasionally joins mixed-species foraging flocks, and has been observed taking a variety of insect prey. The nesting behavior of the entire genus Nonnula is poorly understood, and to date, a nest of the grey-cheeked nunlet remains to be discovered.Food
