The Southern Beardless-Tyrannulet is a diminutive and often challenging-to-identify flycatcher, sharing the 'beardless' characteristic with its northern counterpart. It inhabits a variety of open and semi-open habitats.
Where to spot
Widespread across much of South America, found in diverse habitats including scrub, open woodlands, forest edges, and riparian zones.
How to spot
Similar to its northern relative, listen for its specific whistled song, which differs geographically. Look for its small size and lack of a crest. It forages actively in lower to mid-story vegetation.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active and vocal during the morning and late afternoon.
