The Unadorned Tody-Tyrant is a small, relatively plain flycatcher endemic to the humid forests of a specific region in South America. Its lack of striking features belies its unique identity.
Where to spot
Found in the understory of humid lowland forests in a restricted area of southeastern Brazil, typically within the Atlantic Forest biome.
How to spot
Its quiet and elusive nature means that listening for its distinctive, often high-pitched and repetitive call is the best way to locate this species in dense forest.
When to spot
Active during the day, particularly responsive in the early morning. It is a resident species, observable throughout the year.

Its 'unadorned' plumage makes it one of the more challenging tody-tyrants to identify purely by sight, making its vocalizations critical for birdwatchers.
