The Grey-crowned Tyrannulet is a small, subtly marked flycatcher found in specific regions of eastern South America. It is characterized by its dull plumage, with a hint of grey on the crown.
Where to spot
Mainly found in southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina. It inhabits humid forests, forest edges, and secondary growth.
How to spot
Look for its small size and drab olive and yellowish plumage. The grey crown can be hard to spot in the field. Listen intently for its high-pitched, somewhat insect-like calls, which are often the best clue to its presence.
When to spot
Resides year-round in its habitat. Best observed during the active morning hours, though it can be elusive.
