The White-rumped Monjita is a flycatcher of open country where there are a few trees. It is often found near water and close to towns. It is distributed in much of central and eastern Brazil as well as eastern Bolivia and Paraguay. See the distribution map at xeno-canto.

The head is mostly white and, as the name implies, it has a white rump. A distinguishing feature in flight is a white stripe on the wings which can be seen in the second photo.
