Drab-breasted Bamboo Tyrant, Hemitriccus diops, is a tyrant flycatcher that breeds in eastern Paraguay, north-eastern Argentina and south-eastern Brazil. It is a resident bird of humid forest, especially where bamboo is present, and it also uses forest edges and mature secondary growth. The sexes look alike. Adults show a plain dark olive-green crown, a white mark above the lores and a white eye-ring, with dull grey underparts and a whitish belly. It is usually seen singly or in pairs, and feeds on insects in thick undergrowth.
