Image	Scientific name	Common Name	Distribution
	Nesotriccus murinus	Mouse-colored tyrannulet	from Costa Rica and Panama south to Brazil and northern Argentina
	Nesotriccus ridgwayi	Cocos tyrannulet	Cocos Island
	Nesotriccus tumbezanus	Tumbesian tyrannulet	southwest Ecuador and northwest Peru

The Tumbesian tyrannulet was formerly considered conspecific with the widespread southern mouse-colored tyrannulet. The two species are visually very similar, but vocally distinct. ^[3]
