Description
The bright-rumped attila is a large tyrant flycatcher with a big head, hooked and slightly upturned bill and upright stance. It is 7 in (18 cm) long and weighs 1.4 oz (40 g). The head is olive-green streaked with black, the back is chestnut or olive, the rump bright yellow and the tail brown. The wings are dark brown with two pale wing bars and paler feather edging. The whitish or yellow throat and yellow breast are variably streaked darker. The belly is white becoming yellow near the tail. The iris is red. The sexes are similar, but young birds have a cinnamon-fringed crown and brown eyes. The plumage is very variable, but the streaking below and obvious wingbars help in distinguishing this species from others in the genus. The calls include a loud beat-it, beat-it and a plaintive ooo weery weery weery weery woo. It does not move when singing, so can be difficult to see.

Habitat
Bright-rumped Attila typically inhabits diverse environments, favoring humid lowland and terra firme forests, swampy areas, and the edges of foothill forests. It is also found in secondary growth, clearings, and even in human-modified landscapes such as plantations and gardens with tall trees. Bright-rumped Attila's adaptability extends to semi-arid deciduous forests, scrubby woodlands, and bushy savanna patches. Occasionally, it occupies large gallery forests in llanos and pine forests. Its altitudinal range generally remains below 1500 meters but can occasionally reach up to 2100 meters.
