The White-tailed Shrike-Tyrant is a large, robust flycatcher found in high-altitude environments of the Andes. It is characterized by its shrike-like appearance and white outer tail feathers.
Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands (puna), rocky slopes, and open montane scrub in the Andes, from Colombia to Chile and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its large size, sturdy build, and shrike-like bill. The white outer tail feathers are a key identification mark, especially in flight. It often perches on prominent rocks or low vegetation.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its high-altitude range. Most active during daylight hours.
