White-bellied Tyrannulet

Cercomacroides tyrannina

The White-bellied Tyrannulet (Cercomacroides tyrannina) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, white underparts, and a distinctive white patch on the wing. This species is known for its energetic foraging behavior, often seen darting through the foliage in search of small insects and spiders. The White-bellied Tyrannulet typically nests in the understory of dense forests, constructing a cup-shaped nest from plant fibers and spider silk. While not currently considered threatened, habitat loss and deforestation pose potential risks to its populations.
