Drab-breasted Bamboo Tyrant

Hemitriccus diops

The Drab-breasted Bamboo Tyrant (Hemitriccus diops) is a small passerine bird found in the subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests of South America. It is characterized by its olive-brown upperparts, a drab grayish-brown breast, and a slightly paler belly. This species is known for its distinctive call, a high-pitched, descending trill. The Drab-breasted Bamboo Tyrant forages for insects and other small invertebrates in the understory and lower levels of the forest. It often moves in mixed-species flocks and can be observed hopping and flitting among the dense vegetation.
