The Bright-rumped Attila is a tyrant flycatcher marked by a yellow rump. Its plumage varies among subspecies and color morphs, and it searches for insects and small animals in the middle forest layers.
It has a yellow rump and two white wing bars. Overall plumage varies, including rufous forms.
Alone or in pairs, it moves through the middle and lower canopy, making short sallies from perches to catch insects and small vertebrates.
