Description
The yellow tyrannulet is 10.5-11.4 cm long, weighs 8 g, and with its slender build and small bill resembles a tiny vireo or warbler. Its upperparts are olive-green and the underparts are bright yellow. The head has whitish or pale yellow supercilia. The wings and tail are dusky brown with weak yellow feather-edging, and there are two yellowish wing bars. Sexes are similar, but young birds are browner above and paler yellow below. The call is a soft pewik and the duetted song is a rhythmic pee-tic-keek. There is some geographical variation in both appearance and vocalisation.

Feeding Habits
Yellow Tyrannulet's diet mainly consists of small insects. It occasionally supplements its intake with small fruits and berries. The bird employs active foraging techniques to hunt for food, showcasing unique adaptations for capturing its insect prey.
Habitat
Yellow Tyrannulet predominantly inhabits humid lowland regions away from tall forests. This species thrives in dense thickets, vine tangles, and bamboo stands, particularly where these environments create large clearings or are situated along lake and stream edges. Yellow Tyrannulet is also found in dense secondary growth areas, overgrown pastures, coffee plantations with scrubby vegetation, and mangroves. Gallery forest thickets, sandy soil shrubbery, dense Guadua bamboo, and restinga are amongst the varied habitats supporting yellow Tyrannulet, up to elevations of 1500 meters, but more commonly seen at lower altitudes.
