The Austral Negrito is a small, terrestrial flycatcher found in southern South America. Males boast striking black and red-orange plumage, while females are duller brown and buff.
Where to spot
Found in open grasslands, pastures, and marshy areas across southern South America, including Patagonia and the Falkland Islands.
How to spot
Scan open ground and low vegetation. Males are distinctive with their colors. Look for their characteristic ground-foraging behavior and short, jerky flights.
When to spot
Best observed during the austral summer months (October to March) when they are most active and breeding. Migratory in parts of its range.

Despite being a flycatcher, this species primarily hunts insects on the ground, often running and hopping to pursue prey, unlike many arboreal flycatchers.
