The Blackish Tyrannulet is a small, dark-plumaged flycatcher native to specific regions of South America. It typically favors montane forest edges and clearings.
Where to spot
Found in Andean regions of South America, including Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It inhabits humid montane forests and their borders, often near water.
How to spot
Search for this rather nondescript, dark bird in the lower to mid-story of montane forests. Listen for its distinctive, often repeated, chippering calls. Its small size and quick movements require patience for clear views.
When to spot
Present year-round within its highland range. Best observed during the active morning hours when it is more vocal and actively foraging.

Its 'blackish' appearance can make it blend into shaded forest undergrowth, but its subtle movements and characteristic calls often give away its presence.
