The White-bellied Tyrannulet is a small, active flycatcher known for its contrasting white underparts and dusky upperparts. It inhabits dry and semi-humid forests in South America.
Where to spot
Native to various parts of South America, primarily in Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Argentina. It prefers dry scrub, woodlands, and gallery forests.
How to spot
Look for its small size and its distinctive white belly against darker upperparts. It often flicks its wings and tail while foraging in dense vegetation, which can help in detection. Listen for its simple, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Resides year-round in its range. Most active during the day, particularly mid-morning, when it can be seen foraging.
