The Black-cheeked Warbler is a small, terrestrial warbler of dense highland undergrowth in Costa Rica and western Panama, with a distinctive black-and-white head pattern with black cheeks, rufous crown, and bold white supercilium. It inhabits the dense undergrowth of cloud forests and adjacent shrubby areas above 1,500 meters. It feeds on small insects and invertebrates, foraging close to the ground.
