The Rufous-crowned Greenlet is a small, active Neotropical songbird distinguished by its rufous crown and olive-green body. It is an insectivore, methodically gleaning prey from leaves and branches in the forest understory.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern South America, including parts of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. It inhabits the understory and mid-story of humid forests, particularly the Atlantic Forest.
How to spot
Look for its rufous crown amidst the green foliage. Listen for its characteristic, often repetitive, high-pitched calls and songs. Scan the dense understory and mid-story, as it often stays hidden.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident subtropical habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early morning.

The genus Hylophilus translates to 'forest lover,' aptly describing the preferred habitat of these small, foliage-gleaning birds.
