About the Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant
The yellow-billed tit-tyrant (Anairetes flavirostris) is a species of bird in subfamily Elaeniinae of family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, and as a vagrant in Uruguay.

A. f. huancabambae (Chapman, 1924) A. f. arequipae (Chapman, 1926) A. f. cuzcoensis (Chapman, 1924) A. f. flavirostris Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1876 The yellow-billed tit-tyrant is 10 to 12 cm (3.9 to 4.7 in) long and weighs 6 to 7 g (0.21 to 0.25 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies A. f. flavirostris have a blackish split crest formed by elongated feathers on the sides of the crown.

Their upperparts are medium gray-brown with faint blackish... Wikipedia →
