The Pale-bellied Tyrant-Manakin is a small, subtle manakin with an olive-green back and pale underparts. It typically inhabits the understory of dry forests and woodland edges.
Where to spot
Dry forests, gallery forests, and woodland edges in central and southeastern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, and northeastern Paraguay.
How to spot

Unlike many flashy manakins, this species is quite inconspicuous, relying on its quiet movements and calls for interaction.
