Least Concern

The Rusty-backed Monjita is an open-country tyrant flycatcher of open grasslands, savannas, and dry scrub of central and southern South America. It watches from rocks, shrubs, fences, or bare ground and drops onto insects or sallies into the air. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though intact habitat, connected woodland, and healthy insect populations remain important locally.
