The Rufous-bellied Tyrant is a small, distinctive flycatcher of southern South America. It has a grey head and back, a white wing stripe, and a contrasting rufous belly.
Where to spot
Open scrub, Chaco woodlands, and dry forests in central and northern Argentina, extending into Bolivia and Paraguay.
How to spot
Look for the combination of grey upperparts, white wing stripe, and the key field mark: the rufous belly. It tends to perch low or forage on the ground.
When to spot
Present year-round in its range, though some populations may undertake local movements. Best observed during active foraging periods in the morning and late afternoon.
