There are 5 species of Fire-eye in the genus Pyriglena and apparently this one has a fairly large range in South America but I only ever saw one in Chapada dos Guimaraes just north of the Pantanal in Brazil. The Wiki entry on this species says it is "fairly common but uncommon" whatever that means! I can testify to the uncommon part of that statement. IUCN does not classify this species because it follows another taxonomy which has this species lumped in with some others to form the White-backed Fire-eye. Generally there is very little known about it.
