About the Rufous-breasted Chat-Tyrant
The rufous-breasted chat-tyrant (Ochthoeca rufipectoralis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The rufous-breasted chat-tyrant was formally described in 1837 as Fluvicola rufi-pectoralis.
The rufous-breasted chat-tyrant has these seven subspecies: O. r. poliogastra Salvin & Godman, 1880 O. r. rubicundula Wetmore, 1946 O. r. obfuscata Zimmer, JT, 1942 O. r. rufopectus (Lesson, RP, 1844) O. r. centralis Hellmayr, 1927
O. r. tectricialis Chapman, 1921 O. r. rufipectoralis (D'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837) However, these assignments are not believed to be final, as there are intermediate forms that have not been extensively documented. The rufous-breasted chat-tyrant is 12.5 to 14 cm (4.9 to 5.5 in) long and weighs about 13 g (0.46 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies O. r. rufipectoralis have a sooty brown head with white above the bill that extends into a long wide white supercilium. Their upperparts are brown to sooty brown. Their wings are blackish with faint rufous or cinnamon-buff edges on the secondaries... Wikipedia →
