As well as taking insects in flight, this species hunts caterpillars amongst the oak foliage, and will take berries.

Non-breeding males, females and juveniles have brown heads and lack the throat collar, but are easily distinguished from other flycatchers on size and a tail pattern, with an inverted dark T against the white tail sides.
