COMMON TODY-FLYCATCHER Todirostrum cinereum
This perky little flycatcher with his dazzling yellow underparts and iris is widespread in South America. However his range in Paraguay reaches only the extreme north of the country in the Pantanal region, making him something of a local speciality. Fortunately he is common within his limited range, meaning that you won´t need to invest too much effort to find him.
