The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds known to exist in the world, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.
The genus Sayornis is a small group of medium-sized insect-eating birds, known as phoebes, in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
Pyrocephalus is a genus of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family, Tyrannidae.
The shrike-tyrants are a genus, Agriornis, of birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. The members of this genus are found in open habitats in western and southern South America, usually at high elevations. They are large and heavy billed by tyrant-flycatcher standards, and include the largest representative of the family, the great shrike-tyrant. These five species all have a dull brownish or greyish plumage. Despite their name any similarity with the shrikes is superficial. Many field guides note their greater resemblance to thrushes.
Alectrurus is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
The antpipits, Corythopis, are a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. These are long legged species that spend most of the time on the ground.
Euscarthmus is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
Neoxolmis is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
Nesotriccus is a genus of Central and South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
Phyllomyias is a genus of small birds in the tyrant-flycatcher family Tyrannidae. They are found in wooded habitats of Central and South America. Some species are among the commonest birds in their range, while other are rare and threatened. They have a short, stubby bill, are greenish above, yellowish or whitish below, and all except the sooty-headed tyrannulet have pale wing-bars or edging. They feed on small arthropods and fruits. Most species regularly take part in mixed species flocks.
Polystictus is a genus of South American birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae commonly known as tachuris.
The subtropical doradito is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist shrubland and swamps.
Dinelli's doradito is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, and swamps. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The warbling doradito is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in swamps and riparian habitats in central and northern Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and southern Brazil. The population breeding in Chile and western Argentina has usually also been included in the warbling doradito. It is visually extremely similar, but vocally distinctive and has recently been recognized as a separate species, the ticking doradito. Ebird, an online birding reference, describes the warbling doradito as a "Small two-toned flycatcher, olive-brown above and yellow below. Found in tall-grass marshes, especially those with sedges. Typically difficult to locate, but during the migration can be found in various areas with tall grass. The call is a series of nasal squeaky notes: 'chek, chek, chek, chek-chick-chick-chiquetik'."
The crested doradito is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.
Serpophaga is a genus of birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae that are found in Central and South America.
Camptostoma is a genus of birds in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.
Uromyias is a genus of small Andean, tyrant flycatchers known as tit-tyrants. They were formerly recognized based on syrinxial and plumage characters, including a flatter crest and a longer tail, but was included within Anairetes due to genetic analysis. Recent analyses suggested splitting into Uromyias again.
Anairetes is a genus containing the tit-tyrants, a group of small, mainly Andean birds, in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. The group briefly included the genus Uromyias, which had been recognized based on syringeal and plumage characters, including a flatter crest and a longer tail, but was included within Anairetes due to genetic analysis. Recent analyses suggested splitting into Uromyias again. Anairetes is believed to be most closely related to the genera Mecocerculus and Serpophaga; however, there is no definitive evidence supporting this claim.
The ticking doradito is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in swamps and riparian habitats in central Chile and western Argentina.
