The Chapada Flycatcher (Suiriri islerorum) is a species of bird in the Tyrannidae family, the tyrant flycatchers.

[edit] Description
It closely resembles the Suiriri Flycatcher of the subspecies affinis, and was included within it until being described in 2001. Compared to it, the Chapada Flycatcher has a broader pale tail-tip, a slightly shorter bill, and a different voice. It also has a distinctive wing-lifting display, which is lacking in the Suiriri Flycatcher.
[edit] Distribution and habitat
It is found in the cerrado of south-central Brazil and adjacent far eastern Bolivia.
[edit] Status and conservation
While currently considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International, evidence suggests that it, at least locally, has declined drastically, and perhaps warrants an uplisting.
