The White-lored Tyrannulet is a minute and subtle flycatcher, identified by a faint whitish patch on its lores (area between eye and bill). It typically inhabits the canopy and subcanopy of humid lowland forests.
Where to spot
Widespread across the Amazon basin in South America, found in the canopy and mid-story of humid lowland forests.
How to spot
Look for its tiny size and subtle whitish lore. It stays high in the trees, often best detected by its thin, high-pitched vocalizations. Scan the canopy diligently.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the mornings when foraging for insects and joining mixed-species flocks.

This tyrannulet often joins mixed-species foraging flocks in the forest canopy, moving rapidly through the foliage to glean small insects.
