About the White-browed Chat-Tyrant
The white-browed chat-tyrant (Ochthoeca leucophrys) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru. The white-browed chat-tyrant was originally described as "F[luvicola] leucophrys".
The white-browed chat-tyrant has these six subspecies: O. l. dissors Zimmer, JT, 1940 O. l. interior Zimmer, JT, 1930 O. l. urubambae Zimmer, JT, 1937 O. l. leucometopa Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1877 O. l. leucophrys (d'Orbigny & Lafresnaye, 1837)

The white-browed chat-tyrant is 14.5 to 15.5 cm (5.7 to 6.1 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies O. l. leucophrys have a dark gray to grayish brown crown, a wide white supercilium that begins at the lores and extends... Wikipedia →
