The plain inezia, or plain tyrannulet, (Inezia inornata) is a species of passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru. The plain inezia was originally described as Serpophaga inornata. By the late twentieth century it had been moved to its present genus Inezia.
The plain inezia is monotypic. The plain inezia is about 9 cm (3.5 in) long and weighs 5.5 to 6 g (0.19 to 0.21 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a grayish to olive-gray crown. Their face is mostly whitish with a thin white supercilium and a thin white eye-ring. Their back and rump are grayish to olive-gray. Their wings are dusky with dull white edges on the inner flight feathers and tips of the wing coverts; the latter show as two wing bars. Their tail is dusky. Their throat is whitish and their breast and belly dingy gray with a pale yellow tinge on the lower belly and undertail coverts. They have a dark brown iris, a thin black bill with sometimes a paler base to the mandible, and gray legs and feet.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Tyrannulet sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 11 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 575th most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Plain Tyrannulet in Manu National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Plain Tyrannulet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
4th of 4
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Plain Tyrannulet sightings, Manu National Park ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Parque Estadual Encontro das Águas (Brazil, about 10%), El Impenetrable National Park (Argentina, about 10%) and Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Plain Tyrannulet is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (11 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.
