The pale-legged warbler (Myiothlypis signata) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The pale-legged warbler was formally described in 1906 with the binomial Basileuterus signatus. By 2012 the IOC had assigned it to Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.
The pale-legged warbler is 13.5 cm (5.3 in) long and weighs 12.1 to 13.4 g (0.43 to 0.47 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a mostly olive-green head with dusky lores, a short yellow supercilium, a blackish stripe through the eye, a yellow crescent under the eye, and a yellow throat. Their nape, upperparts, wings, and tail are olive-green. Their underparts are yellow with a faint olive wash on the sides of the breast and flanks. Subspecies M. s. flavovirens is overall slightly brighter than the nominate and has a thin blackish edge along the top of the supercilium. Both subspecies... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-legged Warbler sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 211th most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-legged Warbler in Amboró National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July and September–May, the lowest months. That is one of Amboró National Park's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 340 mm in January. June has too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-legged Warbler 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 Pale-legged Warbler sightings, Amboró National Park has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Manu National Park (Peru, under 5%).
Same genus: Myiothlypis
The closest relatives of the Pale-legged Warbler that you can see in Amboró National Park (genus Myiothlypis) are Two-banded Warbler (about 70%) and Riverbank Warbler (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-legged Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (8 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.
