Legend Overview
Introduction
The Sclater’s Tyrannulet ranges through the southern Andes, from southeastern Peru south to northwestern Argentina, at elevations below c.1500 m, often being found in alder-dominated forests. It is generally fairly common, but is easily overlooked, like several congenerics, and is perhaps most regularly seen accompanying mixed-species flocks, especially those predominantly comprising tanagers. In terms of plumage, the Sclater’s Tyrannulet is largely dull olive-colored above, with two broad white wing bars, and largely clean white below; the crown is rather grayer than the rest of the upperparts, and the face pattern is dominated by the pale supercilium.

Formerly placed in Xanthomyias, along with P. virescens. Suggested to be closely related to P. reiseri on basis of strong similarities in main vocalizations, as well as in general build and posture, and being closer to each other than either is to P. virescens (1). Proposed taxon australis is a synonym. Two subspecies recognized.Subspecies
