The Grey-headed Tyrannulet is a tiny, often inconspicuous flycatcher known for its distinct grey head and yellowish underparts. It is found in humid forests and woodlands across South America.
Where to spot
Widespread across various parts of South America, including Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It inhabits humid forests, secondary growth, and forest edges.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper story of the forest. Look for its diagnostic grey head. Its subtle movements and high-pitched, soft calls (often 'swee' or 'tsip') are good indicators of its presence, especially when it's hidden by foliage.
When to spot
A permanent resident in its range. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially the morning.

Despite its small size, this tyrannulet is an agile insectivore, often seen gleaning tiny insects from leaves and twigs, sometimes hovering briefly to pluck prey.
