Streak-necked Tody-Tyrant

Hemitriccus striaticollis

The Streak-necked Tody-Tyrant is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellowish underparts, and a distinctive streaked pattern on the neck. This species is known for its active and agile foraging behavior, often perching on branches and sallying out to catch insects in mid-air. It prefers dense undergrowth and forest edges, where it can find ample insect prey. The Streak-necked Tody-Tyrant is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status, as it has a wide distribution and stable population.
