The Ashy-headed Tyrannulet is a small, subtle flycatcher with a greyish head and olive-green body. It inhabits humid montane forests in South America.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests along the Andes, from Venezuela and Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru, into Bolivia. It prefers cloud forests and adjacent humid woodlands.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy for mixed-species flocks. Look for its gray head and olive-green body. Its calls are often high-pitched and slightly buzzy. Patience is key, as it can be hidden by foliage.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during the active morning periods when it joins mixed flocks and is more easily detected.
