Black-throated tody-tyrant
The black-throated tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus granadensis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.
It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
Vocal and plumage differences among some of the seven currently recognized subspecies of the Black-throated Tody-Tyrant suggest that more than one species could be involved. As a whole, this tody-tyrant is found from northern Colombia south, somewhat discontinuously, to west-central Bolivia, over which distribution the species occurs in humid montane forest, often in shrubby growth at its edges, at 1800 to 3300 m at least. The Black-throated Tody-Tyrant is generally uncommon, or locally fairly common, and is characterized by its generally olive-green upperparts and crown, black throat and lower-cheek patch, pale lores, and grayish-white underparts. Like many small tyrant-flycatchers, the species’ voice draws the observer’s attention far more readily than its habits; the Black-throated Tody-Tyrant generally occurs singly or in pairs, which spend long periods perched stolidly, only occasionally making short, upward sallies within dense vegetation to seize insect prey.
