The dusky-green oropendola (Psarocolius atrovirens) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae (New World blackbirds). It is found on the eastern slope of the Andes in Bolivia and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest.
The male dusky-green oropendola grows to a length of about 42 cm (17 in) and the female of about 33 cm (13 in). The sexes are similar in morphology, the plumage being mainly dark brownish-green or blackish-green, with a rufous-brown rump and crissum (the undertail coverts surrounding the cloaca). The beak is greenish-white, there may be a few yellow feathers on the head, and the iris is brown or blue, the latter colour perhaps appearing in older birds. The russet-backed oropendola (Psarocolius angustifrons), which partly shares the same range, has more rufous upper parts, a yellow forehead and olive-green head which contrasts with its back and wings.
The dusky-green oropendola occurs on the east side of the Andes Mountains, its range extending from Huánuco Province in central Peru to Santa Cruz Department in Bolivia. It occurs in montane forests... Wikipedia →

Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky-green Oropendola sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 329 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 10th most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September to December
In those months about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky-green Oropendola in Amboró National Park on a given day, against about 40% in January–March, May and July, the lowest months. June has too few records to rate.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dusky-green Oropendola sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Dusky-green Oropendola sightings, Amboró National Park has the highest daily chance: about 60%. Next come Manu National Park (Peru, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dusky-green Oropendola is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (329 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.
