The Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant is a tiny, active Tyrannid, characterized by a subtle, often erected, crest that gives a 'scaly' appearance. It inhabits humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Widespread in humid lowland forests across Central America and northern South America, from Costa Rica to Brazil and Peru.
How to spot
Scan the mid-story and canopy for tiny, active birds. Look for the subtle crest and listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often perching high and darting out for insects. Observable year-round.

Despite its minute size, its crest, when raised, makes it one of the more recognizable pygmy-tyrants in its range.
