The Grey-breasted Tody-Tyrant is a small, subtly marked flycatcher found in the humid forests of South America. Its coloration allows it to blend seamlessly into the dense vegetation it inhabits.
Where to spot
Inhabits the understory of humid tropical and subtropical forests, primarily in the Amazonian regions of Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Listen for its high-pitched, often repetitive calls. Scan the lower to mid-canopy for small, active birds making short sallying flights to catch insects.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, though often most vocal in the mornings. It is a resident species, present year-round.

This tody-tyrant typically perches upright and flicks its tail, a common behavior among many small flycatcher species.
