Spotted
The White-crested Tyrannulet is a diminutive flycatcher recognized by its small size and, in some individuals, a subtle white crown stripe. It favors open woodlands and scrubby areas.
Where to spot
Distributed across southeastern South America, including Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina. Inhabits open woodlands, scrublands, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for this tiny bird flitting through bushes and low trees. Pay attention to its overall small size and relatively plain plumage. Its soft, high-pitched vocalizations are often the first clue to its presence.
When to spot
Resides year-round in its habitat. Most active in the morning and late afternoon, foraging for insects.

Despite its 'crest' in the name, the white crown stripe is often inconspicuous and only visible when the bird raises its feathers, making identification reliant on other features and vocalizations.
