Description

The suiriri flycatcher (Suiriri suiriri) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae found in semi-open habitats in South America. It was formerly split into two species; the Chaco suiriri (S. suiriri) and the Campo suiriri (S. affinis). Suiriri originates from Guaraní, where it is a generic name used for several medium-sized tyrant flycatchers.

16 cm
Feeding Habits
Suiriri Flycatcher primarily consumes arthropods and occasionally small fruits like those of Curatella americana. It employs perch-gleaning to feed from foliage and branches, with aerial hawking and hover-gleaning being secondary techniques. Suiriri Flycatcher is particularly adept at foraging in burnt or open areas, though it's a less active forager than its relative, S. affinis.
Habitat
Suiriri Flycatcher typically resides in semi-open habitats such as dry woodlands, savannas, and shrublands, including regions like the Chaco, Caatinga, and the Cerrado. It favors areas with scattered tall shrubs, often referred to as 'campo sujo'. While suiriri Flycatcher has an affinity for relatively arid regions, it avoids more humid environments like the Amazon Rainforest. Its elevation range extends up to 3000 meters in the Bolivian Andes. This species is fairly common within its preferred habitats across its broad geographic range.
Dite type
Insectivorous

General Info

Distribution Area

The suiriri flycatcher occurs in a wide range of semi-open habitats such as Chaco, Caatinga and Cerrado, but generally avoids humid habitats such as the Amazon Rainforest. It ranges from northern Argentina, through Uruguay, Paraguay, eastern Bolivia, to a large part of eastern Brazil, with disjunct populations in southern Guyana, Amapá, and near the lower section of the Amazon River and central Madeira River. These disjunct populations are associated with remnant patches of relatively dry woodland and savanna that largely – or entirely – are surrounded by humid Amazonian forests. It is fairly common locally, and consequently considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International.

Species Status

Not globally threatened.
