The Eye-ringed Tody-Tyrant is a tiny, active flycatcher distinguishable by its prominent pale eye-ring. It is a resident of tropical forests in South America.
Where to spot
Found in the understory and mid-story of humid lowland forests across northern and central South America, including Venezuela, the Guianas, Brazil, and parts of Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
How to spot
Look specifically for the pale eye-ring and its small size. Its high-pitched, often buzzy calls are also key to finding it in dense foliage.
When to spot
Best observed during active foraging periods in the morning and late afternoon, year-round.
