It is found in the dry regions of northeast Brazil, the cerrado and caatinga, as well as southeast Brazil; also the pantanal and the adjacent southeast Amazon Basin. It is also found in eastern Paraguay with extreme northeast Argentina, and eastern Bolivia in the Pantanal. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.
