The Peruvian Pygmy-Tyrant is a minute Tyrannid, similar to others in its genus but with subtle plumage differences. It inhabits humid foothill forests.
Where to spot
Endemic to humid foothill forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Peru, typically at lower elevations.
How to spot
Focus on the understory and mid-story of humid forests. Listen intently for its specific high-pitched calls, as visual detection is difficult.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often within mixed-species flocks. Observable year-round.

Its diminutive size and preference for dense vegetation make it particularly challenging to spot, often revealed only by its unique vocalizations.
