The agile tit-tyrant is monotypic. The agile tit-tyrant is 12.5 to 13.5 cm (4.9 to 5.3 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a flattish black crest and a long tail.

Their throat is whitish with thin black streaks, their breast, flanks, and upper belly are pale yellow with many thin blackish... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Agile Tit-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Los Nevados National Natural Park (49 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates.
