The dwarf tyrant-manakin or dwarf tyranneutes (Tyranneutes stolzmanni) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae.

Distribution and habitat

It is found throughout most of the Amazon Basin, except the area east of the Rio Negro. Rarely found at the edges of the forest, it prefers being at the mid-strata level deep in the forest. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

Description

The dwarf tyrant-manakin is dull olive above, but lightens to a yellow-olive below. It has a short tail.

Behavior

These birds rarely move, but produce a distinctive two-note call, which readily identifies them.
