Spotted
The White-cheeked Tody-Tyrant is a diminutive and often inconspicuous songbird belonging to the tyrant flycatcher family. It typically inhabits the lower to mid-story of humid forests, where its subtle movements can make it challenging to spot.
Where to spot
Found in South America, primarily in the humid lowland forests of the Amazon basin, extending into adjacent foothills.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive white cheek patch and listen for its sharp, high-pitched calls. It often perches quietly, flicking its tail, before making quick forays for insects. Patience is key in dense forest undergrowth.
When to spot
Active throughout the year during daylight hours, with increased vocalization during the breeding season, typically aligning with local wet seasons.
Despite its small size, the White-cheeked Tody-Tyrant is an agile insectivore, making quick, darting flights to snatch insects from leaves or in mid-air.
