About the Straneck's Tyrannulet

Straneck's tyrannulet (Serpophaga griseicapilla), also known as the monte tyrannulet and grey-crowned tyrannulet, is a small species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Straneck's tyrannulet has a confusing taxonomic history. It had been known since the 1990s by the binomial Serpophaga griseiceps, which had previously been assigned to specimens that were later recognized as immatures of what was then the white-bellied tyrannulet (Serpophaga munda) and so was invalid. Roberto Straneck formally described the species and assigned its current binomial in 2007. It was later given its English name in his honor. Straneck's tyrannulet is monotypic.
