Painted Tody-Flycatcher

The painted tody-flycatcher is 9 to 10.2 cm (3.5 to 4.0 in) long and weighs 6 to 8 g (0.21 to 0.28 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults have a mostly black head with a white spot above the lores and a long white "moustache". A narrow yellow band separates their nape from their olive back, rump, and uppertail coverts. Their wings are black with yellow edges on the flight feathers and the edges and tips of the coverts; the last show as two wing bars. Their tail is black with olive outer edges on the feathers. Their throat is whitish with black streaks. Voice: The painted tody-flycatcher's vocalizations are "piercing and surprisingly loud for so small a bird". Its song is a series of "8-12 bright, emphatic peek! notes" that sometimes accelerate when the bird is excited. Its call is "a double-sounding chevik". Another author describes the species' vocalization as "sequences of irregularly spaced, extr. high 'tsit' notes".
