Piura Chat-Tyrant (Ochthoeca piurae)
About the Piura Chat-Tyrant
The Piura chat-tyrant (Ochthoeca piurae) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is endemic to Peru. The Piura chat-tyrant was originally described as Ochthoeca piurae, a full species. It was soon reassigned as a subspecies of the white-browed chat-tyrant (Ochthoeca leucophrys). Since it was returned to full species status in the 1960s, at least one publication has suggested that it should return to subspecies status. The white-browed and Piura chat-tyrants form a superspecies. The Piura chat-tyrant is monotypic.
