BROWN-CAPPED TYRANNULET 



A very small bird of rather stout build, with 

 a moderately short tail; the head and bill are 

 not conspicuously large, nor is any crest notice- 

 able. In its actions it often suggests a warbler 

 or vireo more than a flycatcher. 



Noted in brush near the Race Track. "Sosa 

 Hill in shrubbery" (Hallinan).

rest of upper parts dull olive green; a white 

 stripe over and extending behind eye; under

I saw one of these tiny birds sitting quietly 

 on a low tree on the side of the Gamboa road. 

 It was not disturbed when I came very close to 

 it.
