The Grey-backed Ground-Tyrant is a medium-sized ground-tyrant found in the high Andes. It is characterized by its uniform grey back, pale underparts, and an often prominent pale supercilium.
Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands (puna), rocky slopes, and open areas in the Andes, from central Peru to Bolivia and northern Chile/Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its plain grey back and active terrestrial foraging. It often perches on rocks or low tussock grass. Distinguish from similar species by its specific shades of grey and facial patterns.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best seen during the day when foraging activity is highest.

Like other ground-tyrants, this species spends most of its time on the ground, making short, rapid runs to catch insects, often flicking its tail as it moves.
