Dark-faced Ground Tyrant (Muscisaxicola maclovianus, Passeriformes, Tyrannidae): a new species for Paraguay
Abstract
The Dark-faced Ground Tyrant (Muscisaxicola maclovianus) is a principally terrestrial tyrant that inhabits open areas of the Andes and Patagonia in breeding season and coastal, grassland areas of lower elevations during the winter. We present the first record of this genus and species in Paraguay with photographs from Cerro Tres Kandú, Department of Guairá and comments on its behavior, diet, and distribution.
