Ash-breasted Tit-Tyrant (Anairetes alpinus)
About the Ash-breasted Tit-Tyrant
The ash-breasted tit-tyrant (Anairetes alpinus) is a vulnerable species of bird in subfamily Elaeniinae of family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. The members of genus Anairetes are known commonly as tit-tyrants because their active foraging behavior and crests are reminiscent of the true tits in the family Paridae. The genus had formerly been named Spizitornis. The ash-breasted tit-tyrant was originally described in the monotypic genus Yanacea which was later merged into Anairetes. The ash-breasted tit-tyrant has two subspecies, the nominate A. a. alpinus (Carriker, 1933) and A. a. bolivianus (Carriker, 1935).
