The Rufous-breasted Chat-Tyrant is a small flycatcher that belongs to the Tyrannidae family. It can be found in the upper subtropical and temperate zones of the Andes, spanning from Venezuela to Bolivia. This bird has a distinctive bold eyebrow and a rufous band across its chest and a single rufous wingbar. Both males and females have similar appearances. The Rufous-breasted Chat-Tyrant is fairly common and easy to spot, often found alone or in pairs in open woodland and edge. You can observe this bird in our Manu National Park tours.
