White-rumped Sirystes

Sirystes albocinereus

The White-rumped Sirystes is a medium-sized neotropical bird found in the Amazon Basin. It has a distinctive white patch on its rump, contrasting with its olive-green upperparts and yellowish underparts. This species is known for its melodious and far-carrying song, often heard in the forest canopy. White-rumped Sirystes primarily feeds on insects and is often observed sallying out from a perch to catch its prey. It inhabits tropical lowland forests and is often found in the mid to upper levels of the canopy. This species is generally not considered threatened, but habitat loss and deforestation may pose future conservation concerns.
