Marble-faced Bristle-Tyrant

Poecilotriccus fumifrons

The Marble-faced Bristle-Tyrant is a small, insectivorous bird found in the Andean cloud forests of South America. It is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a striking white face and throat and a black crown and back. This species is known for its active foraging behavior, often seen darting through the dense vegetation in search of small insects and spiders. It prefers to inhabit the understory and midstory of montane forests, where it can find suitable perches for hunting. The Marble-faced Bristle-Tyrant is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, as it has a relatively wide distribution and stable population.
