The Greenish Tyrannulet is a small, largely olive-green flycatcher found in various wooded habitats across South America. It is characterized by its inconspicuous appearance but lively demeanor.
Where to spot
Widespread across much of South America, including Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Argentina. Inhabits humid forests, secondary growth, and forest edges, from lowlands to foothills.
How to spot
Scan the canopy and mid-story of trees for this small, active bird. Look for its short sallies to catch insects. Its appearance can be challenging, so learning its specific 'cheep' or 'seep' calls is vital for accurate identification.
When to spot
Resides year-round in its range. Active throughout the day, particularly during peak insect activity in the morning.

Despite its common name, distinguishing it from other similarly 'greenish' tyrannulets often relies on subtle plumage variations and, critically, its unique vocalizations.
