The Tumbesian tyrannulet or Tumbes tyrannulet (Phaeomyias tumbezana) is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. It occurs in desert scrub and wooded habitats in southwest Ecuador and northwest Peru. Within its restricted range it is fairly common, but its small size and dull plumage results in it often being overlooked – or at least not identified, as it resembles several other tyrant flycatchers. The common name is from the city of Tumbes in northwest Peru.
Three subspecies are recognised:[2]
- Phaeomyias tumbezana tumbezana (Taczanowski, 1877) – southwest Ecuador and extreme northwest Peru
- Phaeomyias tumbezana inflava Chapman, 1924 – northwest Peru
- Phaeomyias tumbezana maranonica Zimmer, JT, 1941 – north Peru
The Tumbesian tyrannulet was formerly considered conspecific with the widespread mouse-colored tyrannulet. The two species are visually very similar, but vocally distinct.[3]
