Verbreitungskarte von Elaenia chiriquensis Widespread in lowlands and on lower slopes south to n. and e. Bolivia [...], n., Argentina [...], e. Paraguay ( few records), and s. Brazil [...], but absent or very local in extreme ne. Brazil and the Amazon basin [...], and not recorded from most of e. Ecuador or w. Amaz. Brazil; west of Andes only in nw. Venezuela, w. Colombia [...], and nw. Ecuador [...]; Trinidad and Netherlands Antilles ( either as migrant or with small resident population). Also Costa Rica and Panama. Southernmost breeders apparently migrate northward during austral winter, but as the subspecies albivertex occurs across all of cis-Andean South America, their wintering range is hard to delineate.   (Ridgely RS, Tudor G, 1994)
