The Spot-billed Ground-Tyrant is a small, pale ground-tyrant of the Andes, known for the small pale spot at the base of its bill. It is predominantly grey-brown with paler underparts.
Where to spot
Open, dry high-altitude grasslands, puna, barren slopes, and rocky areas throughout the Andes, from Colombia to Chile and Argentina.
How to spot
Look for it on the ground or low rocks. Identify it by its small size, pale bill spot, and habit of running and hopping. Its tail-wagging behavior is also characteristic.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its high-altitude range. Most active during the day, especially warmer hours.
