Spotted
The Rufous-winged Tyrannulet is a small, active flycatcher identified by its distinctive rufous (reddish-brown) wing panels. It typically inhabits the dense understory of humid montane and cloud forests.
Where to spot
Found in the humid montane forests of the Andes in South America, from Venezuela to Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for the rufous wing panels, which are prominent on an otherwise olive-green bird. It forages actively in the undergrowth, often flicking its tail. Listen for its high-pitched, rapid calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its montane habitat. Best observed during early mornings when active and vocal.
