Pale-tipped inezia

The pale-tipped inezia or pale-tipped tyrannulet (Inezia caudata) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.

Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, and heavily degraded former forest.

The Pale-tipped Tyrannulet was formerly considered conspecific with the Amazonian Tyrannulet (Inezia subflava); there is no overlap in their respective distributions, and the two species differ in plumage, eye color, and most prominently in vocals (both are very vocal). Some authors have referred to these two species as inezias, rather than tyrannulets, in order to differentiate them more easily from the many other small ‘tyrannulets’. This generally common species is found from northeast Colombia south and east through Venezuela and the Guianas, to extreme northeast Brazil, where it is found in gallery forest, dry woodland, seasonally flooded forest, as well as mangrove. In common with many other small tyrant-flycatchers, the Pale-tipped Tyrannulet is still relatively poorly known in terms of its ecology and behavior.
