Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Black-throated Tody-Tyrant, Hemitriccus granadensis, is a tyrant flycatcher that breeds in South America from Venezuela to Peru. It is a resident of humid montane forest, cloudforest and shrubby regrowth in subtropical and temperate zones, and it also uses forest margins, overgrown windthrows and landslip scars. The species has a disjunct range. Its plumage is shared by both sexes, and the nominate form shows a black throat, a dark olive upper body, whitish lores and eye-ring, and a diffuse grey band across the breast.
