Black-crowned Monjita
Neoxolmis coronatus (Vieillot, 1823)
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Black-crowned Monjita, Neoxolmis coronatus, is a tyrant flycatcher of northern and central Argentina, where it breeds in open country. It is also a complete migrant, leaving the breeding area in the austral winter and moving north and east into neighbouring parts of South America. The species is marked by a black crown set off by a broad white band at the base, with a white lower face and entirely white throat and underparts. Its upperparts are grey or brownish grey, and the wings and tail are blackish with white showing in flight.
