The White-eyed Tody-Tyrant is a distinctive small flycatcher, named for its striking pale iris. It is a resident of humid forests across a broad swathe of Amazonia.
Where to spot
Widespread in the understory and mid-story of lowland humid forests across the Amazon basin, including Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic white eye in the dim light of the forest undergrowth. Its high-pitched, rapid vocalizations are a reliable way to pinpoint its location.
When to spot
Observable year-round during daylight hours. Often heard and seen more frequently in the early morning.
