Ochre-naped Ground Tyrant
Muscisaxicola flavinucha Lafresnaye, 1855
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
Ochre-naped Ground Tyrant, Muscisaxicola flavinucha, is a passerine of the southern Andes in Argentina and Chile, with wintering range extending to Peru and western Bolivia. It belongs to the tyrant flycatcher family and was described by Lafresnaye in 1855. It is linked to puna grassland, bogs and rocky slopes with sparse cover, usually close to water. The species has two subspecies, and the nominate form shows a pale ochre patch on the rear crown, which helps set it apart.
