Shear-tailed Grey Tyrant (Muscipipra vetula)
About the Shear-tailed Grey Tyrant
The shear-tailed grey tyrant (Muscipipra vetula) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The shear-tailed grey tyrant was formally described in 1823 as Muscicapa vetula, erroneously placing it in the Old World flycatcher family. It was later reassigned to its present genus Muscipipra that had been erected in 1831. The shear-tailed tyrant is the only member of genus Muscipipra and has no subspecies.
