Johannes's tody-tyrant, or Joao's tody-tyrant, (Hemitriccus iohannis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Johannes's tody-tyrant has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described in 1907 as Euscarthmus iohannis. During different parts of the twentieth century it was treated as a subspecies of the stripe-necked tody-tyrant (now H. striaticollis) and as a full species in genera Euscarthmornis and Idioptilon. Those two genera were eventually merged into Hemitriccus.
Johannes's tody-tyrant is monotypic. Johannes's tody-tyrant is about 11 cm (4.3 in) long and weighs 9.2 to 12.7 g (0.32 to 0.45 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a bright olive crown. They have brownish lores, sometimes with a white spot above them, and the color extends around the eye. Their back and rump are bright olive.

Their throat is whitish with very thin black... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Johannes's Tody-Tyrant sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 387 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 161st most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Johannes's Tody-Tyrant in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, the lowest month. That is one of Manu National Park's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 290 mm in February.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Johannes's Tody-Tyrant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Johannes's Tody-Tyrant sightings, Manu National Park has the highest daily chance: about 10%. Next come Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, under 5%).
Same genus: Hemitriccus
The closest relatives of the Johannes's Tody-Tyrant that you can see in Manu National Park (genus Hemitriccus, Tody-Tyrants and Bamboo-Tyrants) are Flammulated Pygmy-Tyrant (about 10%) and White-bellied Tody-Tyrant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Johannes's Tody-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (387 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
