Zimmer's Tody-Tyrant

Tolmomyias assimilis

The Zimmer's Tody-Tyrant (Tolmomyias assimilis) is a small, insectivorous bird found in the tropical forests of South America. It is characterized by its olive-green upperparts, yellow underparts, and a distinct white eye-ring. This species is known for its active foraging behavior, often seen darting between branches and foliage in search of small insects and spiders. The Zimmer's Tody-Tyrant typically inhabits the understory and lower canopy of humid forests, where it can be found in small, mixed-species flocks. While not currently classified as threatened, habitat loss and fragmentation pose potential risks to its long-term survival.
