Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant

Hemitriccus margaritaceiventer (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837)

Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant Hemitriccus margaritaceiventer is a passerine of the Tyrannidae family, found across northern, south-central and eastern South America. It occurs in many mainland countries, though not Chile, Ecuador, French Guiana or Suriname. The species is a year-round resident. Its most notable feature is the pale vent that gives it its name. It lives in a wide range of shrubby and dry habitats, including scrub, woodland undergrowth, forest edges and thickets, and is also recorded in dense heathland in the Gran Sabana of Bolívar.
