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).

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 ...

Amazonian Black Tyrant
The Amazonian black-tyrant (''Knipolegus poecilocercus'') is a species of flycatcher located in the Amazon wetlands. It is a medium-sized bird characterized by its physical features and habitat preference. Description The Amazonian black-tyrant is a medium-sized, dark flycatcher. It is usually located in flooded forests along rivers. The species encounters sexual dimorphism. Males are darker, smaller, and glossier than male riverside tyrants. Females are brown with a streaked abdomen. Amazonian black-tyrants are known for being quieter than other flycatchers. The riverside tyrant and Amazonian black-tyrant look similar; however, the riverside tyrant is generally noticed more in open riverine settings. Taxonomy The scientific name for the Amazonian black-tyrant is ''Knipolegus poecilocercus''. It was first scientifically described by August von Pelzeln in 1868 in ''Zur Ornithologie Brasiliens: Resultate von Johann Natterer'' ''Reisen in den Jahren 1817 bis 1835''. The Am ...
