Myiornis ecaudatus (Short-tailed Pygmy Tyrant)

Contents

Wikipedia Abstract

The short-tailed pygmy tyrant (Myiornis ecaudatus) is not only the smallest member of the tyrant-flycatcher family, but also the smallest passerine on earth. Among both the family and the order, only the closely related black-capped pygmy tyrant approaches similarly diminutive sizes. The pygmy tyrant is widespread throughout most of the Amazon in northern and central South America.
