It inhabits a variety of open grassland habitats usually near streams or rivers and often near human habitation.

Some authorities classify it as a sub-species of Bar-winged Cinclodes Cinclodes fuscus albiventris but this species is redder above and paler below with a pale, almost white wing-stripe.
