Introduction

The Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant is small, drab, long billed flycatcher of dry scrub and deciduous fores. It occurs in northwestern South America, and also in central and eastern South America from Bolivia and Argentina east through Brazil. There also are isolated populations in Peru. Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrants are olive-brown above with a gray crown, whitish lores, and a reddish brown bill, and are white below with indistinct gray streaking.  These birds frequently forage in pairs at low to medium heights in shrubs, pausing briefly to glean insects from the undersides of leaves.  Pearly-vented Tody-Tyrant nests consist of a hanging elongated purse made of grass and plant fibers suspended 0.5-3 m off the ground from a drooping branch or herbaceous plant.
