Griseotyrannus aurantioatrocristatus (MPR):breeds in temperate zones in Argentina and migrates during austral winter to hotter,more humid latitudes in South America (Cueto et al., 2008). Part of its population is migratory and part is resident (Jahn et al., 2004).The nominotypical subspecies breeds in northern and eastern Bolivia, central-western and southern Brazil, northern and central Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay; is migratory and flies mainly to western Amazonia. During the non-breeding season, it is recorded in northeastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, southeastern Colombia, Brazil – in AC, RO, AM and PA –, extreme southern Venezuela and southern Guyana. The subspecies G. a. pallidiventris occurs from eastern PA to MA and PI and in GO (Mobley, 2004g) and is sedentary. In Brazil, photographic records showing evidence of breeding activity are scarce and they are restricted to the period between October and December in BA, GO, MG, SP (WikiAves, 2016) and RS (Belton, 1985). Occurrence records and banding data show its presence in central-western, southeastern and southern regions between September and January, while in the Amazonian region it can be observed throughout the year (SNA, 2016; WikiAves, 2016), probably due to the existence of a resident population and a seasonal increment of migratory individuals.
