This tyrant flycatcher lives in Argentina’s dry shrub-steppe. It uses low shrubs and the ground, and the account also describes winter movement from breeding areas toward central Argentina.
The back and flanks are light chestnut, with a white eyebrow and pale underparts. The chest is dark-streaked; much of the wing is white, and the dark tail has white edges.
The account describes it feeding from low shrubs or the ground and usually occurring alone. It also notes seasonal movement toward central Argentina in winter.
