The Dark-faced Ground-Tyrant is a distinctive ground-tyrant found in southern South America, recognizable by its dark face and prominent white supercilium.
Where to spot
Open grasslands, coastal areas, and scrub, especially in the Falkland Islands, Tierra del Fuego, and parts of southern Patagonia.
How to spot
Look for the dark face contrasting with a white supercilium and white underparts. It forages actively on the ground and often perches low. Its tail is frequently cocked or fanned.
When to spot
Year-round in the Falklands; continental populations are migratory, breeding in the austral summer and moving northward for winter.
