Little Ground Tyrant

The little ground tyrant is 13 to 14 cm (5.1 to 5.5 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a pale buffy supercilium and line above their lores. The rest of their face and their crown, nape, and back are grayish sandy brown. Their wings are dusky with very thin pale grayish cinnamon edges on the inner remiges and small buffy tips on the coverts that sometimes show as two wing bars. Their tail is black with white outer webs on the outer feathers. Their throat and breast are buffy white and their belly almost white. Voice: As of April 2025 neither xeno-canto nor the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library had recordings of little ground tyrant vocalizations. The species is usually silent but its call has been written as "a single high-pitched peeeép with rising inflection".
