The Grey-capped Tyrannulet is a small, active flycatcher with a distinctive grey cap contrasting with its olive-green body. It is found in drier woodlands and scrub in South America.
Where to spot
Primarily found in South America, particularly in Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia. It prefers drier deciduous forests, cerrado, and scrubby areas.
How to spot
Look for its diagnostic grey cap and active foraging style in the mid-story of dry woodlands. Its small size and quick movements make it challenging, so listen for its high-pitched, often repeated, 'pseet' calls.
When to spot
A year-round resident. Best observed during daylight hours, especially in the cooler parts of the morning, when it is most active.

This species can be quite acrobatic when foraging, often hanging upside down to glean insects from leaves and twigs, a behavior common among tiny tyrant-flycatchers.
