Streak-throated bush-tyrant        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Bush-tyrants are one of many subfamilies of flycatchers in the Neotropics; this one is common at high elevations.   A close relative is the rufous-winged shrike-tyrant.  The picture was taken near Wayqecha Research Station, at about 3000 m elevation on the Manu road on the eastern slope of the Andes in Peru.
