Puna Ground Tyrant

The puna ground tyrant is 16 to 16.5 cm (6.3 to 6.5 in) long. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a dull cinnamon crown, a white spot above their lores, a faint pale supercilium, and a pale broken eye-ring on an otherwise pale brownish gray face. Their upperparts are mostly pale brownish gray with a black lower rump. Their wings are dusky gray. Their tail is black with white edges on the outer webs of the outermost feathers. Their throat and belly are whitish and their breast pale gray. They have a dark iris, a black bill, and black legs and feet. Voice: As of April 2025 xeno-canto had a single recording of a puna ground tyrant vocalization and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Macaulay Library had five others. The species' song is not known. Its call is "a soft high-pitched peep repeated at intervals".
