Hudson's Black Tyrant (Knipolegus hudsoni)
About the Hudson's Black Tyrant
Hudson's black tyrant (Knipolegus hudsoni) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and as a vagrant to Brazil and Peru. Hudson's black tyrant was formally described by Philip Sclater in 1872 as Cnipolegus hudsoni. Sclater gave it the specific epithet hudsoni to honor Argentine-British ornithologist William Henry Hudson, who collected the first four specimens. The genus' spelling was later changed to Knipolegus. For a time the species was moved to genus Phaeotriccus but a 2012 publication confirmed its return to Knipolegus. Hudson's black tyrant is monotypic.
