Grey-and-white Tyrannulet, Pseudelaenia leucospodia, is a passerine of the Tyrannidae family that breeds in south-west Ecuador and north-west Peru. It lives in arid scrub, brushy river-edge growth and dry woodland. The species is a resident throughout the year. It is the only member of its genus. Adults of both sexes share the same plumage, with a pale crown, a shaggy crest showing white when raised, a white eyebrow, a dark line through the eye, grey-brown upperparts and mostly whitish underparts. Juveniles show less white on the crown.
