GREATER WAGTAIL-TYRANT Stigmatura budytoides
Argumentative, bolshy and brash, the Wagtail-Tyrant is a bird who doesn´t like to be ignored! They move about in pairs or trios, cocking the expressive tail and occasionally fanning it to display the white band and tips. You´ll have to head to the dry Chaco to see him.
