Patagonian Tyrant (Colorhamphus parvirostris)
About the Patagonian Tyrant
The Patagonian tyrant (Colorhamphus parvirostris) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina and Chile. The Patagonian tyrant was originally described as Myiobius parvirostris. It successively had many reassignments as Tyrannula parvirostris, Serpophaga parvirostris, Elainea murina, and Muscicapa parvirostris before attaining its current binomial Colorhamphus parvirostris in the late 1800s. However, at least one late twentieth century author called it Ochthoeca parvirostris, and a 2020 publication suggested that was its proper binomial. The Patagonian tyrant is the only member of genus Colorhamphus and has no subspecies.
