Hudson's Black-Tyrant is a sleek, black flycatcher found in grasslands of southern South America. Males are entirely glossy black, while females are slightly duller.

Pampas grasslands, open fields, and agricultural areas in Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil.
How to spot
Look for a small, all-black bird perching on fences, utility wires, or low vegetation in open areas. It often sallies out low to the ground to catch insects.
When to spot
Observable year-round, but more conspicuous during the austral summer months when breeding.
