BLACK-CROWNED MONJITA Xolmis coronatus
This is the least frequently encountered of the Paraguayan monjitas, distinctive large flycatchers with eyecatching black-and-white wing patterns. In Paraguay it is found only in the Chaco where it is a winter migrant from further south in Argentina. Like all monjitas they are bold, perching prominently and allowing you to get a good look at him.
