Cinereous Ground Tyrant (Muscisaxicola cinereus)
About the Cinereous Ground Tyrant
The cinereous ground tyrant (Muscisaxicola cinereus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru. The cinereous ground tyrant was originally described as Muscisaxicola cinerea. It was later determined that Muscisaxicola is masculine so the specific epithet's case was changed to conform to binomial nomenclature. Between the early and mid-twentieth century many authors treated the cinereous ground tyrant as a subspecies of Muscisaxicola alpinus, now called the paramo ground tyrant or plain-capped ground-tyrant by different taxonomic systems.
