The Smoky-fronted Tody-Tyrant is a small, subtle flycatcher characterized by a dusky or smoky wash on its forehead. It prefers the dense understory and edges of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits the humid lowland forests of South America, particularly in the Amazonian regions of Brazil and adjacent countries.
How to spot
Look for its small size and the subtle smoky wash on its face. It often forages low in the undergrowth, perching quietly before darting after insects. Listen for its high-pitched, buzzy calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout the year. Observation is best during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its somewhat drab plumage, its active foraging style involves quick, jerky movements through vegetation, making it a lively presence in its habitat.
