Dives warczewiczi is a bird species found primarily in the Pacific lowlands and foothill forests of western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. It inhabits both primary and secondary tropical forests, forest edges, and nearby plantations or shrublands. It is considered a resident species throughout its range, with no evidence of migration or widespread occurrence outside of its native habitats. The species is considered stable and relatively common in appropriate habitat types within its distribution range.

This species has a mostly black plumage with a bluish sheen, especially visible in adult individuals, and shows some regional plumage variation. It reaches approximately 7 to 8 inches in length and has a robust body with a medium-length, slightly curved bill. Dives warczewiczi typically forages in small groups or pairs, often feeding on insects and fruit. It is known for its strong vocalizations, including sharp, repetitive calls and melodic whistles. Breeding behaviors are not extensively documented, but the species is thought to nest in concealed locations among dense vegetation. Photographed in northwestern Eucador.
