Phot taken in the month of December in Outinhos , Brazil . a few hours inland from Sao Paulo , Is it a Yellow-Lored Tody-flycatcher or common tody-flycatcher ? any ideas or comments would be appreciated ! Thanks

I would suggest it is a Common Tody-Flycatcher if that really is white edging to the tail. Also the yellow on the lores doesn't look as if it spreads far enough forward.

Thanks dj ! someone told me that Common Tody-flycatcher can actually have yellow lores, which makes it confusing, but I thought Common Tody-flycatcher has a darker head/nape. heres two more snapshots ...

Agree - Common Tody-flycatcher. In SE Brazil they show a small amount of yellow in the lores but not as much as Yellow-lored would. As mentioned in other posts the white spotting in the undertail is also diagnostic.
