Yellow-bellied Tyrannulet

Ornithion semiflavum

The Yellow-bellied Tyrannulet is a small passerine bird found in the tropical forests of Central and South America. It is known for its olive-green upperparts, yellow underparts, and distinctive white eyering. This species is often found in the mid to upper levels of the forest, where it forages for insects and small fruits. It is known for its high-pitched, insect-like calls. The Yellow-bellied Tyrannulet plays a key role in the ecosystem by controlling insect populations. Despite being relatively common in its range, habitat loss poses a threat to its population.
