The Andean Negrito is a high-altitude flycatcher residing in the Andes Mountains of South America. Males exhibit a bold black-and-rufous pattern, while females are less vibrant.
Where to spot
High Andean grasslands (puna) and rocky slopes in South America, from central Peru south to northern Chile and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for them on the ground or low rocks in open, treeless areas. Their distinctive black and rufous plumage, especially on males, helps in identification. They often pump their tails.
When to spot
Observable year-round in its resident high-altitude habitats. Activity might increase during warmer daytime hours.

This species is well-adapted to its harsh, cold Andean environment, often perching on rocks and tussock grass in exposed areas where few other birds thrive.
