The Black-capped Tyrannulet is a distinctive small flycatcher with a striking black crown and olive-yellow body. It is found in humid montane forests of western South America.
Where to spot
Distributed along the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It primarily inhabits humid montane forests, cloud forests, and forest edges, typically at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its diagnostic black cap contrasting with its yellowish belly and olive back. It typically forages in the mid to upper levels of the forest canopy, often making quick sallies for flying insects. Listen for its high-pitched, somewhat buzzy calls.
When to spot
A permanent resident in its highland habitats. Most active during the morning hours when it forages for insects in the canopy.

Its bold black cap makes it one of the more easily identifiable tyrannulets in a genus often characterized by subtle plumage differences.
