The Short-tailed Field-Tyrant is a small, terrestrial flycatcher with a very short tail, adapted to open grasslands and savannas. It is often found hopping on the ground rather than perching high.
Where to spot
Found in open grasslands, savannas, pastures, and agricultural fields in coastal southwestern Ecuador and northwestern Peru.
How to spot
Look for it on the ground or on very low perches in open fields. Observe its short tail and hopping movements. Listen for its weak, often buzzy calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, especially in the mornings and late afternoons. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

Its exceptionally short tail and terrestrial foraging habits make it unique among most flycatchers, which typically sally from elevated perches.
