In Peru, the white-eyed attila is widespread in the eastern low-laying areas, generally south of the Amazon River.Behavior
The white-eyed attila generally preys on arthropods and sometimes eats fruit. It perches and scans its surroundings outward, usually from a well-lit area. When it finds its food, it rapidly flies toward it and snatches it off the surface it was on, or it may engage in hover-gleaning, first hovering then glean its prey from foliage.References:
