White-eyed Tody-Tyrant

Aphanotriccus capitalis

The White-eyed Tody-Tyrant is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is characterized by its bright green upperparts, yellow underparts, and distinctive white eye-ring. This species is known for its energetic and acrobatic foraging behavior, often catching insects in mid-air. It prefers dense vegetation and can be found in the understory and lower canopy of humid forests. The White-eyed Tody-Tyrant is known for its high-pitched, repetitive calls that are often heard in the early morning and late afternoon. While its population size is not well-documented, it is generally considered to be of Least Concern by the IUCN due to its wide distribution and apparently stable population.
