This is a medium sized tyrant, 7.3/4", with mainly gray and brown colors. The underside, however, lights up quite yellow, and on this particular picture you actually see the elongated orange patch that represents a hidden comb or crest that can be erected at particular situations. (In most pictures you do not see it at all). The cow tyrant occurs in open countryside and sparse dry forests, from Venezuela in the north to northern Argentina in the south. It occurs relatively commonly in nature reserves and agricultural landscapes. It lives on insects and therefore sometimes follows cattle that chase up different small animals, hence the name, Cattle tyrant.
