Spotted
Cabanis's Tyrant is a rather nondescript flycatcher of the Andean foothills, closely resembling other Knipolegus species. Males are mainly dark grey, while females are brownish with some rufous.
Where to spot
Montane scrub, forest borders, and open woodlands in the Andes, from northern Peru south to Bolivia.
How to spot
Identification can be challenging due to its similarity to other dark tyrants. Focus on subtle plumage differences, call notes, and specific habitat. Look for it perching on low to mid-level branches.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Morning hours are generally most productive for sightings.

This species was once considered a subspecies of the White-winged Black-Tyrant (Knipolegus aterrimus) before being recognized as a distinct species based on genetic and vocal differences.
