The Sharp-winged Doradito is a tiny, often inconspicuous flycatcher of open, wet grasslands and marshes, characterized by its sharp, pointed wingtips. It is typically found clinging to tall grass or reed stems.
Where to spot
Found in disjunct populations across South America, primarily in high-altitude wet grasslands and marshes in the Andes, and some lowland wetlands.
How to spot
Look for its very small size and preference for dense grass or reeds. Its calls are often thin and buzzy. Patience and scanning low vegetation are crucial.
When to spot
Resident year-round in its habitat. Can be difficult to spot, but early mornings might offer better views.

Its 'sharp-winged' name refers to the pointed primary feathers, which are believed to aid in its agile flight through dense marsh vegetation.
