MOTTLE-CHEEKED TYRANNULET Phylloscartes ventralis
Click here for articles relating to this species.
The Mottle-cheeked is one of those frustrating little greenish forest flycatchers with a yellow belly. They are active, hard to observe and not particularly mottle-cheeked!! Most of their foraging is done by flycatcher-gleaning, a technical term for flying and plucking a prey item from vegetation.
