Spotted
The Tawny-rumped Tyrannulet is a small, relatively plain flycatcher with a subtle tawny wash on its rump, giving it its name. It inhabits humid montane forests in South America.
Where to spot
Found in montane forests of western South America, from Colombia south through Ecuador and Peru, into Bolivia. It prefers humid evergreen forests and cloud forests at high altitudes.
How to spot
Look for this small bird in the mid to upper canopy of montane forests. While its rump is a key feature, it's often hard to see. Listen for its high-pitched, often repetitive 'tseet' or 'tsip' calls, which are very helpful for detection and identification.
When to spot
A year-round resident in its Andean range. Most active during the early morning hours, foraging for insects in the canopy.

Its 'tawny rump' can be a challenging field mark to see clearly, often requiring a good view as the bird flies or preens, emphasizing the importance of other identification cues like its vocalizations.
