Spotted
The Red-capped Tyrannulet is a diminutive and distinctive flycatcher characterized by a reddish-brown or rufous cap. It is found in humid montane forests of western South America.
Where to spot
Distributed along the eastern slopes of the Andes, from northern Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru, into Bolivia. It inhabits humid montane evergreen forests.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of montane forests for this tiny bird. Its rufous cap is a key identification feature. Listen for its high-pitched, often repeated 'tseet' or 'tsip' calls, which are frequently the first indication of its presence.
When to spot
A permanent resident in its highland habitats. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon when foraging for insects.
