Identification
Fairly large flycatcher of the Andes from Venezuela to Argentina. Conspicuous orangish belly and black-and-white streaked throat make this bush-tyrant fairly easy to identify. Also note larger size than Smoky Bush-Tyrant and heftier bill. Typically found in open habitats, usually at the forest edge. Singles or pairs perch conspicuously, sometimes even on telephone wires.
