The scale-crested pygmy tyrant (Lophotriccus pileatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.
It was given its name for the small crown-like ring of feathers on the top of its head. It raises these feathers both to attract a mate and to seem larger when frightened.
It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Venezuela, and possibly Honduras.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest.
Not much is known about the habits or breeding of the bird.
