Abstract
I report the first documented record of the Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi) in Argentina on 11 November 2014 at Punta de Vacas ranger station, Aconcagua Provincial Park, Mendoza Province, at 2400 masl. An individual was observed in a site with exotic trees near the Vacas River. This record, the southernmost one for the species, should be considered as extralimital or accidental. We propose “Burlisto Oliváceo” as common name to be used for the species in Argentina.
