Hello,

I photographed this Ground-Tyrant near Cuzco in Peru. I think it is an Ochre-Naped Ground-Tyrant. I'm doubting because there seems to be some yellow near the bill.

Thanks in advance!

Looks more like Spot-billed to me

But isn't the bird to light on its wings for a Spot-Billed?

The light is rather harsh but it still seems to show a couple of wingbars. The strong face pattern would indicate Spot-bill too.

Ok, Thanks a lot, now I see it to.

Have you been in Peru? Or just interested in South-American birds?

Planning to go soon - so have been swotting up!

not sure if needed, but I'll add another vote for Spot-billed. Notice also relatively short primaries versus tail-length. Most ground-tyrants possible in Cusco have photos here:
