The White-browed Ground-Tyrant is a common and widespread ground-tyrant of the Andes, identified by its crisp white supercilium extending from the lores.
Where to spot
High-altitude grasslands, puna, agricultural areas, and open country in the Andes, from Ecuador to southern Argentina. Migrates to lower elevations and coasts in winter.
How to spot
Look for its clean white supercilium against an otherwise plain grey head. It forages on the ground, making short runs and often flicking its tail.
When to spot
Best observed in its breeding grounds during the austral spring/summer. During austral winter, it can be found at lower elevations.

This species is known for its relatively long-distance migrations, moving from its high Andean breeding grounds to lower altitudes and warmer areas for the non-breeding season.
