Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. This is one of the parent species that hybridized to produce the golden-crowned manakin.[2] A hybrid zone between this species and the snow-capped manakin exists where the two species' ranges come into geographic contact in the Cachimbo Range.[2]
