The bronzy jacamar (Galbula leucogastra) is a species of bird in the family Galbulidae. It occurs in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. The bronzy jacamar is monotypic. It and purplish jacamar (Galbula chalcothorax) were formerly considered conspecific; they now form a superspecies. Birds in eastern Brazil along the Tapajós River were suggested as a subspecies but were not accepted as such. In addition, the species is thought to have hybridized with green-tailed jacamar (G. galbula) in Suriname.
The bronzy jacamar is 19 to 22 cm (7.5 to 8.7 in) long and weighs 15 to 18 g (0.53 to 0.63 oz). The male's crown and face are dark metallic greenish blue. The rest of the upper parts and the breast are metallic bronzy green and sometimes have a slight purple gloss. It has a black chin and white throat and belly; the latter appears speckled with black. The female differs by having the sides of the face dark gray and the throat and belly buff or yellowish.
According to a 2016 map, the bronzy jacamar is found in southern Venezuela, far eastern Colombia, much of west-central Brazil... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bronzy Jacamar sighting in Anavilhanas National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 258th most-seen of the 291 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.
June and November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bronzy Jacamar in Anavilhanas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in July–October and December–May, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bronzy Jacamar sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Anavilhanas National Park, in our data
Anavilhanas National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Bronzy Jacamar sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bronzy Jacamar is recorded against all the birds logged in Anavilhanas National Park (7 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.
