The Paltry Tyrannulet is a tiny, often inconspicuous flycatcher with olive-green and yellowish plumage. It is a widespread resident of various forest types in Central America.
Where to spot
Distributed throughout Central America, from Mexico south to Panama. It inhabits humid evergreen forests, secondary growth, and coffee plantations, often at middle elevations.
How to spot
Look for this diminutive bird in the mid to upper canopy, where it actively gleans and sallies for insects. Pay attention to its overall small size and subtle face patterns. Its high-pitched, often buzzy or trilled calls are critical for identification in the field.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its range. Most active during the morning hours when foraging for insects.

Its name 'Paltry' refers to its rather plain appearance, which can make it challenging to identify among other small, similarly colored flycatchers without careful observation of its subtle features and distinctive calls.
