Flammulated Bamboo Tyrant

Hemitriccus flammulatus

The Flammulated Bamboo Tyrant is a small, insectivorous bird found in the subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests of South America. It is known for its distinctive olive-green upperparts and bright yellow underparts, with a striking black and white pattern on its head. This species is often observed foraging in the dense understory, where it flits and hops among the vegetation in search of small insects. The Flammulated Bamboo Tyrant is known for its melodious and varied song, which it uses to communicate with conspecifics and establish territories. Despite its striking appearance and unique vocalizations, this species faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.
