White-headed Marsh Tyrant

Arundinicola leucocephala

The White-headed Marsh Tyrant is a small, insectivorous bird found in wetland habitats of South America. It is characterized by its striking white head and black upperparts. This species is known for its distinctive call, which is often heard as it perches on reeds or low vegetation. White-headed Marsh Tyrants are highly territorial during the breeding season, and they build their cup-shaped nests in dense vegetation near water. They are adept at catching insects in mid-air and foraging for small invertebrates in the marshy areas they inhabit.
