The Spectacled Tyrant is easy to recognise by its conspicuous yellow eye-ring. The individual below is probably an immature male, the adult male is predominantly black (above) and the female is brownish with light belly.
The Spectacled Tyrant is principally found in Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, also the other subtropical South American countries.
