It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela. == Taxonomy and systematics == The yellow-browed tyrant was originally described by Vieillot in 1818 as Muscicapa icterophrys, erroneously placing it in the Old World flycatcher family. In 1844 Strickland moved it to genus Suiriri "for the present", expressing reluctance to place it in genus Satrapa which he had erected. The yellow-browed tyrant is the only member of genus Satrapa and has no subspecies. == Description == The yellow-browed tyrant is 15 to 16.5 cm (5.9 to 6.5 in) long and weighs about 20 g (0.71 oz). Adult males have a mostly dark grayish olive face with a bold bright yellow supercilium. Their upperparts are dark olive. Their wings are dusky black with grayish white edges on the flight feathers and grayish white tips on the coverts that show as two wing bars. Their tail is dusky with white outer webs on the outer feathers. Their underparts are bright yellow with an olive wash on the sides of the breast. Adult females are overall paler than males, especially their supercilium…
