The Peruvian tyrannulet (Zimmerius viridiflavus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. As traditionally defined, it is endemic to Peru, but recent genetic evidence suggests it should include the taxon flavidifrons as a subspecies, in which case the range of the Peruvian tyrannulet extends into far southern Ecuador. Alternatively, flavidifrons is sometimes considered a separate species, the Loja tyrannulet, but it is not closely related to the golden-faced tyrannulet as previously believed.
The natural habitat of the Peruvian tyrannulet is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The Guatemalan tyrannulet or paltry tyrannulet, is a very small passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It occurs in southern Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and southern Belize.
The mistletoe tyrannulet is a very small bird, a passerine in family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers.
The white-tailed tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.
The mouse-colored tyrannulet is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It occurs in a wide range of scrubby and wooded habitats in tropical and subtropical South America, being absent from the southernmost part of the continent, the high Andes and dense rainforest. It also occurs in Panama and Costa Rica. It is generally common, but its small size and dull plumage results in it often being overlooked – or at least not identified, as it resembles several other tyrant flycatchers.
The rough-legged tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
The cinnamon-faced tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in the Yungas of Peru and Bolivia. First described in 1997, it was named in honor of Theodore A. Parker III.
The Bolivian tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Zimmerius is a genus of Neotropical birds in the family Tyrannidae.
The golden-faced tyrannulet is a species of bird belonging to the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
The red-billed tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The slender-footed tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in humid forests of the west Amazon Basin in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Until recently, it included the Guianan tyrannulet as a subspecies.
The Venezuelan tyrannulet is a species of passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in northern Venezuela.
The Mishana tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to two geographically separated regions in northeastern Peru. It is speculated that the two populations might represent separate species entirely.
The Yungas tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is, as suggested by its common name, restricted to humid and semi-humid forest in the Yungas of north-western Bolivia and far south-eastern Peru. Although discovered in the early 1990s, it was only formally described in 2008.
The Guianan tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in forests in the east Amazon Basin and northeastern Brazil. Until recently, it was considered a subspecies of the slender-footed tyrannulet.
The Choco tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in forests in the Chocó of south-western Colombia and western Ecuador. It was previously treated as a conspecific with the golden-faced tyrannulet but the species were split based on the molecular and vocal differences. It is restricted to a region with extensive habitat destruction but it is generally fairly common and therefore unlikely to be seriously threatened.
The Tumbesian tyrannulet or Tumbes tyrannulet is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It occurs in desert scrub and wooded habitats in southwest Ecuador and northwest Peru. Within its restricted range it is fairly common, but its small size and dull plumage results in it often being overlooked – or at least not identified, as it resembles several other tyrant flycatchers. The common name is from the city of Tumbes in northwest Peru.
Chico's tyrannulet is a species of passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is endemic to the area of Rio Madeirinha in Brazil. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Coopmans's tyrannulet is a species of bird belonging to the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela. It was formerly considered conspecific with the golden-faced tyrannulet.
The spectacled tyrannulet, specious tyrannulet or mountain tyrannulet is a small passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It occurs in Venezuela and Colombia.
