Lovely little bird. Here I've already seen Todirostrum poliocephalum, seems to be very similar to this one.

Hi Luiz,

I thought this was a T. poliocephalum until Rasmus told me T. cinereum can too have a yellow lore, which I was assuming was the main field mark to distinguish them. Learned a lot with the thread above, though.
