The yellow-billed tit-tyrant (Anairetes flavirostris) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Argentina , Bolivia, Chile , and Peru.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.
Taxonomy
The yellow-billed tit-tyrant's genus, Anairetes, is believed to be most closely related to the genera Mecocerculus and Serpophaga; however, there is no definitive evidence supporting this claim.[2] Members of the genus Anairetes are known commonly as tit-tyrants because their active foraging behavior and crests are reminiscent of the true tits in the family Paridae.[3]
