Introduction
Bronze-olive Pygmy-Tyrant is a tiny songbird of Andean forests. Found in mountains from Panama and Colombia south to Peru, the species prefers undergrowth and forest edge from 700 to 2000 meters in elevation. The Bronze-olive Pygmy-Tyrant is a small but round flycatcher, dark olive above with blackish wings and paler olive underparts with a dull white throat. Typically found foraging on its own, this flycatcher can be detected by the whirring sound its wings make during its short hover-gleaning foraging bouts in the undergrowth.
