Which small insectivorous bird inhabits tropical forests of Central and South America?

• A. Japanese white-eye
• B. European robin
• C. Short-tailed pygmy tyrant
• D. Cliff swallow

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is matching a bird to its typical region and habitat based on its size and diet. The short-tailed pygmy tyrant is a tiny tyrant flycatcher that lives in the humid tropical forests of Central and South America. It’s very small and specialized for catching insects in dense forest, which fits the description in the question perfectly.

The other birds come from different places or habitats: the Japanese white-eye is native to East Asia, the European robin to Europe, and the cliff swallow tends to inhabit open areas and cliffs rather than tropical forests.
