The Lanceolated Monklet is the only species in the genus Micromonacha but it seems ripe for a split in the future because it has several different populations with most in Peru, Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador and Bolivia but also a disjunct population in Costa Rica and Panama. It is basically a very small and cute Puffbird. We saw this one at the Montezuma Rainforest Lodge in Colombia but it took a good 20 minutes to find it after hearing it because it is so small and blends in easily.
