The Grey-bellied Tyrannulet is a small, subtly marked flycatcher with olive-grey upperparts and paler grey underparts. It is found in humid montane forests of western South America.
Where to spot
Distributed along the eastern slopes of the Andes, from northern Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru. It inhabits humid montane evergreen forests, including cloud forests.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. Look for its overall grayish tone, especially on the belly. It often gleans insects from foliage. Listen for its soft, often buzzy, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during early morning activity, when it is most vocal and actively foraging.

This species can be quite elusive, often staying high in the canopy, making its soft, high-pitched calls crucial for detection and identification in dense forest.
