The Greyish Piculet is a tiny woodpecker, characterized by its subtle greyish wash on its head and underparts, contrasting with its darker back. It is an active bird, often seen hopping along thin branches and vines in search of insects. Its small size makes it easily overlooked.
Where to spot
Found in humid tropical montane forests, especially along the western slope of the Andes in Colombia.
How to spot
Look for its tiny size and quick movements on thin branches and vines. Listen for its extremely high-pitched, soft 'tsee' calls or almost imperceptible tapping. Requires patience and good hearing to spot this elusive bird.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most active during the early morning hours. Vocalizations are very soft and high-pitched.

The 'greyish' tone of its plumage allows it to blend particularly well with lichen-covered branches and shaded areas of the forest.
