Marble-faced Bristle Tyrant (Pogonotriccus ophthalmicus) - 12Aug2024

There are nine species of Bristle-tyrant and countless small flycatchers that all look similar to this little guy.  This is why you really need a guide that can help ID by sound, or you will not picking up too many species.  Many times when you see a bird like this, you are also getting many other birds and it is difficult to focus.  Cheers to the local guide that helped me get on this bird.  Photographed on my second trip to Colombia.  This species lives in high elevation forests from Venezuela down through Bolivia.
