The dwarf tyrant-manakin or dwarf tyranneutes (Tyranneutes stolzmanni) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae.
Distribution and habitat

Description
[edit]The dwarf tyrant-manakin is dull olive above, but lightens to a yellow-olive below. It has a short tail.
Behavior
[edit]These birds rarely move, but produce a distinctive two-note call, which readily identifies them.
