Spotted
The Rufous-webbed Tyrant is a large, distinctive flycatcher of the Andes, known for its strong bill and the rufous webbing visible on its flight feathers, especially in flight.
Where to spot
High-altitude polylepis woodlands, montane scrub, and rocky slopes in the Andes, from northern Peru to Bolivia and northwestern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for a large, robust flycatcher in high-altitude scrub. The rufous webbing on the primaries is a key identification feature, best seen when the bird flies or stretches. It often perches prominently.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during early mornings and late afternoons when foraging.

This species has a unique 'webbing' of rufous color on its primary feathers, which is a subtle but striking feature usually seen only when the bird takes flight.
