Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
White-fronted Tyrannulet, Acrochordopus zeledoni, is a passerine of the tyrant flycatcher family that breeds from Costa Rica into north-western South America. It lives in humid evergreen forest in the subtropical and tropical zones, especially in the canopy, and also uses forest edges, clearings with scattered trees and mature secondary growth. Its range is broken into separate parts across several countries. The bird has a white forehead that reaches over the eye, with a slate crown and nape and olive-green upperparts in the nominate form. It was described by Lawrence in 1869.
