This small tyrant flycatcher lives in the high Andes of Peru and Bolivia. It moves along outer branches in Polylepis woodland and searches for caterpillars and other insects.
The body is gray, with a wispy black forked crest and a white hindcrown. The belly is yellowish white, and the wings and tail have black-and-white markings.
It moves quickly along the outer branches of Polylepis trees, taking caterpillars and other insects. It forages alone, in pairs, or in small family groups.
