Johannes's Tody-Tyrant is a small and rather plain flycatcher, known from the humid lowland forests of the Amazon. Its muted colors offer effective camouflage within its dense habitat.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid lowland rainforests of southwestern Amazonia, found in parts of Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and rarely in adjacent Ecuador.
How to spot
Locate by listening for its distinct, often rapid vocalizations emanating from the forest understory. Patience is key to observing its subtle movements in dense foliage.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, with increased foraging and vocalization during early morning. Resident species, observable year-round.

Like many in its genus, this tody-tyrant is an insectivore, often seen darting out from a perch to snatch small insects in mid-air or from vegetation.
