Venezuelan Tyrannulet

The Venezuelan tyrannulet is about 11.5 to 12.5 cm (4.5 to 4.9 in) long and weighs about 10 g (0.35 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a dark slate gray crown. They have a white supercilium that starts at the base of the bill and continues past the eye, a wide white arc under the eye, and gray ear coverts with a black line above them. Their back and rump are olive green. Their wings are mostly dusky; most of the coverts and flight feathers have yellow edges. Their tail is dark gray with yellowish edges on the feathers. Their throat is white. Voice: During the day the Venezuelan tyrannulet makes "a relatively long, plaintive, slightly descending whistle". No other vocalizations have been described and there are few recordings available at xeno-canto and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library.
