ID help needed Machu Picchu Pueblo Peru (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
I'm having trouble identifying this small bird. Images taken in the gardens at the Inka Terra Hotel in Machu Picchu Pueblo. Should be a slam dunk. Small bird, yellow belly, blue cap, yellow eye but I haven't been able to find a match in my Birds of Peru book. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Has to be pygmy-tyrant or similar

Neils, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I think it is a Common Tody-flycatcher. The colour in the book shows a gray back and cap but an internet image search shows quite a few images with the same characteristics as my images.

Thanks for the help
Paul
