Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and heavily degraded former forest. It was considered conspecific with Cabanis's wren and the isthmian wren, together called the plain wren. It is considered as a distinct species because of different vocalizations and genetic divergence.
