The suiriri flycatcher (Suiriri suiriri ) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae found in semi-open habitats in South America. It was formerly split into two species; the Chaco suiriri (S. suiriri ) and the Campo suiriri (S. affinis ). Suiriri originates from Guaraní, where it is a generic name used for several medium-sized tyrant flycatchers.

starts withThe suiriri flycatcher occurs in a wide range of semi-open habitats such as Chaco, Caatinga and Cerrado, but generally avoids humid habitats such as the Amazon Rainforest. It ranges from northern Argentina, through Uruguay, Paraguay, eastern Bolivia, to a large part of eastern Brazil, with disjunct populations in southern Guyana, Amapá, and near the lower section of the Amazon River and central Madeira River. These disjunct populations are associated with remnant patches of relatively dry woodland and savanna that largely – or entirely – are surrounded by humid Amazonian forests.
It is fairly common locally, and consequently considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International.
