Black-chested Tyrant (Taeniotriccus andrei)
About the Black-chested Tyrant
The black-chested tyrant (Taeniotriccus andrei) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Brazil, Suriname, and Venezuela. The black-chested tyrant was originally described in 1902 as Taeniotriccus andrei. The authors gave it the specific epithet andrei "after Mr. E. André, of Trinidad, its discoverer". Some late twentieth century authors merged Taeniotriccus into genus Poecilotriccus. Later research found that those two genera are not closely related and found instead that Taeniotriccus and Cnipodectes are sister genera. The black-chested tyrant is the only member of its genus. It has two subspecies, the nominate T. a. andrei (Berlepsch & Hartert) and T. a. klagesi (Todd, 1925).

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 35 recordings for this species: 18 CC BY-NC-SA · 16 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
