Blue-billed Black Tyrant, based on e.g. the eye-colour, habitat, elevation.

Velvety Black is same in eye color, habitat and elevation, so I'd like the reasoning.

Wrong.

Blue-billed Black-tyrant:

• iris bright red
• Borders of humid forest and gallery woodland, less often venturing out into shrubby semi-open areas, usually near water; usually not found in interior of forest.
• Below 2200 m.

Velvety Black-tyrant

• iris dark red
• Grassy or rocky areas, usually near trees or shrubby cover
• mostly 1800–2700 m, locally down to 700 m
