The Peruvian warbling antbird or Peruvian antwarbler, (Hypocnemis peruviana) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The Peruvian warbling antbird was long considered a subspecies of the then warbling antbird Hypocnemis cantator sensu lato. Following a study published in 2007 that assessed vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences in plumages among the warbling antbird's subspecies, it and several others were elevated to full species status.
The Peruvian warbling antbird's further taxonomy is unsettled. However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World does not recognize saturata but treats what it calls the "Peruvian antwarbler" as monotypic.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Peruvian Warbling-Antbird sighting in Amacayacu National Natural Park on a given day, based on 180 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 31st most-seen of the 436 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Peruvian Warbling-Antbird in Amacayacu National Natural Park on a given day, against about 20% in February–March, May, July and December, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Peruvian Warbling-Antbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Peruvian Warbling-Antbird sightings, Amacayacu National Natural Park has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 10%) and Manu National Park (Peru, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Peruvian Warbling-Antbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Amacayacu National Natural Park (180 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
