The Crowned Slaty Flycatcher is a distinctive tyrant flycatcher found in South America, noted for its somewhat slaty-gray plumage and a prominent, often hidden, orange-red crown.
Where to spot
Found in southern South America, primarily Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and southern Brazil, migrating north to central and northern South America and sometimes southern Central America for winter. Inhabits open woodlands, savannas, and forest edges.
How to spot
Look for its overall slaty-grey plumage, darker wings, and a prominent dark eye-stripe with a pale malar stripe. The hidden orange-red crown patch is a key feature when visible. Listen for its loud, harsh calls.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring/summer) in the southern parts of its range; non-breeding season (fall/winter) in the northern parts. Look for it during migration as well.

The scientific name 'aurantioatrocristatus' means 'golden-black-crested,' referring to its striking hidden crown patch which is a mix of orange and black feathers.
