Chapman's Bristle Tyrant

Pogonotriccus chapmani (Gilliard, 1940)

Chapman's Bristle Tyrant, Pogonotriccus chapmani, is a passerine of the tepuis in South America, where it breeds in humid montane evergreen forest on mossy slopes. It is found in Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. The bird is a resident throughout the year and is linked to the upper forest layers, from the understorey to the mid-storey. It has the same plumage in both sexes, and the nominate form shows a pale eyebrow, a white eye-ring and two clear wing bars.
