Sclater's Tyrannulet is a small, inconspicuous flycatcher of humid montane forests in western South America. Its plumage is generally olive above and yellowish below, making it blend well into foliage.
Where to spot
Found along the eastern slopes of the Andes, from southern Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru, into Bolivia. Inhabits humid montane evergreen forests.
How to spot
Look for this bird in the mid to upper levels of montane forests. Its subtle coloration makes it blend in, so listening for its high-pitched, often repetitive 'tseet' calls is crucial for identification. It moves quickly between branches.
When to spot
Present year-round in its Andean range. Most active during the morning and late afternoon, when it forages in the forest canopy.

Named after Philip Sclater, a renowned British zoologist, this tyrannulet is often detected by its distinctive, high-pitched calls rather than its appearance, as it tends to stay hidden in the canopy.
