The Scale-crested Pygmy Tyrant (Lophotriccus pileatus) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family.

It was given it's name for the small crown-like ring of feathers on the top of it's 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 forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Not much is known about the habits or breeding of the bird.
