Villarejo's Tyrannulet is a very recently described species of flycatcher, discovered in 2013, found only in a small region of the Peruvian Andes. It is subtly marked with olive-green and yellowish tones.
Where to spot
Known only from a very restricted range in the montane forests of Junín, Peru. It inhabits humid cloud forests, often near forest edges.
How to spot
Locating this rare and recently discovered tyrannulet requires visiting its specific cloud forest habitat in Peru. Look for its small size and typical tyrannulet behavior in the mid to upper canopy. Its unique vocalizations are crucial for identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident within its highly restricted range. Best observed during early morning activity.
