Possibly Ashy-headed Tyrannulet, or a Bristle-Tyrant ? Taken on eastern slope at San Isidro, Napo province, Ecuador at about 1500 m, March.

I agree on Ashy-headed Tyrannulet. I don't have my book in front of me but I remember getting good looks at these guys at San Isidro this year.

Thanks James and Ovenbird (and Pat). I did take a pic identified as Ashy-headed on another occasion at San Isidro - can you confirm this too please. Thanks.

Well, I guess it could well have been the same bird, just taken the day before, or perhaps his twin brother… Thanks, James!

Yes, again that bluish colored gray head is a very good fieldmark as I pointed out in the other thread.
