Tufted tit-tyrant        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Tit-tyrants are one of a myriad of 'flycatchers' found in South America.   This species is common (but hard to see) in high-altitude forests and scrublands.   These were photographed at about 3000 m altitude along the Manu Road in southeastern Peru.
