The white-crested tyrannulet (Serpophaga subcristata) is a small species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in woodland and open habitats with scattered bushes and trees in Argentina , Bolivia, Brazil , Paraguay, and Uruguay. It is closely related to the white-bellied tyrannulet, but unlike that species the belly of the white-crested tyrannulet is yellow. The recently described Straneck's tyrannulet is extremely similar to the white-crested tyrannulet and was for a long time confused with that species; the two are generally best separated by voice.
