Bearded Tachuri

Polystictus pectoralis

Near Threatened

The Bearded Tachuri is a tyrant flycatcher of open grasslands, savannas, and dry scrub of central and southern South America. It feeds mostly on insects captured by quick sallies, gleaning, or ground pounces, with some species also taking fruit. It is not yet globally threatened, but range limits or habitat pressure mean it needs watching.
