The White-rumped Shrike-Tyrant is a large, sturdy flycatcher of the high Andes, characterized by its prominent white rump and a shrike-like appearance. It has a heavy bill and a dark tail.
Where to spot
High-altitude puna grasslands, rocky slopes, and barren areas in the Andes of Peru, Bolivia, and northern Chile.
How to spot
Look for its large size, robust build, and distinct white rump (often more visible than a pure white tail). It often perches prominently on rocks or low bushes, scanning for prey.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its high-altitude range. Most active during daylight.
