White-browed Ground Tyrant
Muscisaxicola albilora Lafresnaye, 1855
Tyrannidae — Tyrant Flycatchers, Calyptura
White-browed Ground Tyrant, Muscisaxicola albilora, is a passerine of the Tyrannidae family that breeds in the Andes from Ecuador south to southern Chile and western Argentina. It was described by Lafresnaye in 1855. A ground-dwelling tyrant flycatcher, it is tied to open montane grassland and shrubland, including pasture, and often uses rocky places, especially near marshes and lakes. In the breeding season it is found in almost treeless sites, with a nest set in a rock hollow or crevice. It is a complete migrant, leaving the breeding area in winter and moving north.
