Common Tody-Flycatcher

Todirostrum cinereum

The Common Tody-Flycatcher is a small, insect-eating bird found in the tropical forests of Central and South America. It is known for its distinctive bright yellow plumage and its habit of perching on low branches while hunting for insects. This species is highly active and agile, often making quick sallies to catch prey. The Common Tody-Flycatcher is known for its high-pitched vocalizations and is often heard before it is seen. It plays an important role in its ecosystem by helping to control insect populations. Although not currently considered threatened, habitat loss is a potential concern for this species.
