It is found in south-central and south-eastern Amazonia.[1] Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.[1]
The crowned slaty flycatcher migrates into the mostly western and central Amazon basin as a non-breeding resident, except in the southeast bordering the Cerrado and Pantanal, where it is resident in much of the western cerrado and southwards; the migration occurs during the austral winter.
Its binomial is the longest of any bird species, fifteen syllables when spoken aloud.
