The Bolivian recurvebill (Syndactyla striata) is a bird species in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Bolivia and Peru. The Bolivian recurvebill and its sister species the Peruvian recurvebill (S. ucayalae) were previously placed in genus Simoxenops. Their vocalizations and behavior strongly suggested the two species belonged in Syndactyla, and that placement was confirmed by genetic study.
The Bolivian recurvebill is monotypic. The Bolivian recurvebill is 19 to 20 cm (7.5 to 7.9 in) long and weighs 37.5 to 48.5 g (1.3 to 1.7 oz).

Their wings are dark rich reddish brown with ochraceous at the bend. Their tail is dull chestnut. Their throat and malar area are orange-rufous with faint paler spots at the throat's lower edge, their... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Bolivian Recurvebill sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 90 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 67th most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October and November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Bolivian Recurvebill in Amboró National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February and August, the lowest months. June has too few records to rate.
Only Amboró National Park, in our data
Amboró National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bolivian Recurvebill sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bolivian Recurvebill is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (90 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.
