The White-rumped Monjita is a medium-sized flycatcher of central South America, characterized by its clean white rump and outer tail feathers, contrasting with a grey back.
Where to spot
Open savannas, grasslands with scattered trees, and dry Chaco woodlands in central Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, and northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive white rump and outer tail feathers, particularly visible in flight. It often perches on low bushes or fences in open areas, sallying for insects.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the breeding season (austral spring/summer) when it is more vocal and conspicuous.
