  Tyrant flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tyrant flycatchers are a large family of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America, but are mainly tropical in distribution.
They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines) and so do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of the songbirds.
Most, but not all, are rather plain, and many have erectile crests.

 Tyrant Flycatcher family
With 400 tyrannids in 98 genera, the Tyrant Flycatchers are one of the largest bird families in the world.
