Anairetes
''Anairetes'' is a genus containing the tit-tyrants, a group of small, mainly Andean birds, in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. The group briefly included the genus Uromyias, which had been recognized based on syringeal and plumage characters, including a flatter crest and a longer tail, but was included within ''Anairetes'' due to genetic analysis. Recent analyses suggested splitting into Uromyias again.DuBay, S.G., Witt, C.C. 2012. An improved phylogeny of the Andean tit-tyrants (Aves, Tyrannidae): More characters trump sophisticated analyses. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 64, 285-296. ''Anairetes'' is believed to be most closely related to the genera ''Mecocerculus'' and '' Serpophaga''; however, there is no definitive evidence supporting this claim.del Hoyo 2004, p. 176 They are fairly small birds (11–14 cm) that get their common name from the tit family, due to their energetic tit-like dispositions and appearance, primarily in their crests.

Tufted Tit-tyrant
The tufted tit-tyrant (''Anairetes parulus'') is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. This species is found in western South America; its range stretches from southern Colombia south along the Andes mountains to Tierra del Fuego. It prefers to live in upper montane forests and shrublands; however, it is a habitat generalist and can be found across a wide range of ecosystems. The tufted tit-tyrant has three subspecies, including the nominate subspecies ''Anairetes parulus parulus'', ''A. p. aequatorialis'', and ''A. p. patagonicus'', and is very closely related to the Juan Fernández tit-tyrant. It is very small with a distinctive and conspicuous crest. The bird's head is black overall with white supraloral and postocular stripes. Its dull grayish-brown back contrasts with its white throat and breast that are covered with black streaks and pale, unmarked yellow underbelly. There are few noticeable differences in plumage between the subspecies. It is a voc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tit-tyrants
The tit-tyrants are a group of small, mainly Andean, tyrant flycatchers found in the genera ''Anairetes'' and ''Uromyias''. The tit-tyrants are fairly small birds (11–14 cm) that get their common name from the tit family, due to their energetic tit-like dispositions and appearance, primarily in their crests. Tit-tyrants live in temperate or arid scrub habitats and are mainly found in the Andes mountains.del Hoyo 2004, p. 177 It is one of only a few genera of small flycatchers that occur at such high altitudes.del Hoyo 2004, p. 190 Species Anairetes * Ash-breasted tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes alpinus'' * Black-crested tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes nigrocristatus'' * Pied-crested tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes reguloides'' * Yellow-billed tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes flavirostris'' * Juan Fernández tit-tyrant, ''Anairetes fernandezianus'' * Tufted tit-tyrant The tufted tit-tyrant (''Anairetes parulus'') is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae.

Tyrannidae
The tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds known to exist in the world, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. The members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colors. Some tyrant flycatchers may superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers, which they are named after but are not closely related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.del Hoyo, J. Elliott, A. & Christie, D. (editors). (2004) ''Handbook of the Birds of the World. Volume 9: Cotingas to Pipits and Wagtails''. Lynx Edicions. A number of species previously included in this family are now placed in the family Tityridae (''see Systematics''). Sibley and Alquist in their 1990 bird taxonomy had th ...
