Spotted
The Blue-billed Black-Tyrant is a small, all-black flycatcher found in southeastern South America, notable for its bright blue bill. Females are browner with a duller bill.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, savannas, and forest edges in southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its glossy black plumage and, crucially, the bright blue bill on the male. It perches upright and makes quick aerial forays for insects. Listen for its high-pitched, insistent calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the breeding season when males are more conspicuous.
