The white-throated antpitta (Grallaria albigula) is a species of bird in the family Grallariidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The white-throated antpitta's taxonomy is unsettled. The Clements taxonomy and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World do not recognize G. a. cinereiventris and so treat the white-throated antpitta as monotypic.
This article follows the two-subspecies model. Grallaria antpittas are a "wonderful group of plump and round antbirds whose feathers are often fluffed up...they have stout bills [and] very short tails". The white-throated antpitta is 18.5 to 20 cm (7.3 to 7.9 in) long and weighs 84 to 95 g (3.0 to 3.4 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a bright chestnut-rufous crown, nape, and ear coverts. They have grayish lores and a ring of pale bluish white bare skin around their eye. Their upperparts are mostly olivaceous-brown with reddish brown uppertail coverts and tail.... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Antpitta sighting in Amboró National Park on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 255th most-seen of the 273 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Antpitta in Amboró National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–May and July–November, the lowest months. That is one of Amboró National Park's wettest months, with about 310 mm of rain against 90 mm in September. June has too few records to rate.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-throated Antpitta sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Amboró National Park, in our data
Amboró National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-throated Antpitta sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the White-throated Antpitta that you can see in Amboró National Park (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Purplish Jay (about 80%), Plush-crested Jay (about 80%) and Crested Oropendola (about 80%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Antpitta is recorded against all the birds logged in Amboró National Park (5 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.
