Spotted
The Rufous-crowned Tody-Tyrant is a petite and elusive bird of the tyrant flycatcher family, characterized by its reddish-brown crown. It typically resides in the lower and mid-canopy of humid montane and foothill forests.
Where to spot
Native to the Andean slopes of South America, found in humid montane forests and cloud forests.
How to spot
Focus on its rufous crown and listen for its characteristic calls. It often perches quietly on slender branches, making short, quick sallies to catch insects.
When to spot
Present year-round in its habitat. Early mornings are generally the most productive times for observation, as birds are actively feeding and calling.

Like many tody-tyrants, it has a surprisingly loud and distinctive vocalization for its small size, helping birders locate it even when it's obscured by foliage.
