The Minor Tyrannulet is a diminutive and often inconspicuous flycatcher, characterized by its small size and subtle plumage. It inhabits the understory and mid-story of humid forests.
Where to spot
Found in parts of humid lowland and foothill forests of the Amazon basin in South America.
How to spot
Look for its tiny size and overall dull olive-green plumage. It typically stays low in dense vegetation, so patience and quiet observation are key. Its high-pitched, thin calls can help in locating it.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active in the early morning. Often challenging to spot due to its small size and preference for dense cover.

Despite its 'minor' name, it is a persistent and active forager, continuously gleaning small insects from leaves and twigs.
