Peruvian or Loja Tyrannulet
Zimmerius [viridiflavus or flavidifrons] (= Zimmerius viridiflavus) (Tschudi, JJ 1844)
The Peruvian tyrannulet is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. As traditionally defined, it is endemic to Peru, but recent genetic evidence suggests it should include the taxon flavidifrons as a subspecies, in which case the range of the Peruvian tyrannulet extends into far southern Ecuador. Alternatively, flavidifrons is sometimes considered a separate species, the Loja tyrannulet, but it is not closely related to the golden-faced tyrannulet as previously believed. Source: Wikipedia
