Ochthoeca nigrita

The Black-and-white Chat-Tyrant is a small passerine bird found in the Andes of South America. It is characterized by its black and white plumage, with a black head, back, and wings, and a white belly and throat. This species is often found in montane cloud forests and woodland edges, where it forages for insects and small invertebrates. The Black-and-white Chat-Tyrant is known for its distinctive call, which is a series of clear, whistled notes. While its population size is not well-documented, it is generally considered to be of least concern in terms of conservation status.
