We registered for the first time the Rough-legged Tyrannulet (Phyllomyias burmeisteri) in the Central Cordillera of Colombia, in the municipality of Ibagué, Tolima. In addition, we conducted a song comparison of the bird recorded with vocalizations from other sites in the Neotropics. From the acoustic analyzes, we conclude that our individual could correspond to the zeledoni subspecies, considered as a different species of burmeisteri. The Andean taxon, leucogonys, did not differ in acoustic features from zeledoni neither viridiceps, while burmesiteri was evidently different with shorter and with less bandwidth notes.
