Klages's antwren (Myrmotherula klagesi) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is endemic to Brazil. Klages's antwren is monotypic. The species' English name and specific epithet commemorate Samuel M. Klages, who collected the first specimen in Santarém, Pará, Brazil.
Klages's antwren is 9 to 10 cm (3.5 to 3.9 in) long and weighs 7.5 to 8.5 g (0.26 to 0.30 oz). It is a smallish bird with a tiny tail. Adult males have a black and white streaked face. Their crown, back, and rump are black with white streaks. Their tail is black with white edges and tips to the feathers. Their wings are black with white tips on the coverts and white edges on the flight feathers. Their throat, breast, and belly are white and their flanks and crissum grayer. Black streaks extend from the throat to the flanks and belly. Adult females have buff streaks (not white) on the head and upperparts. Their underparts are buff with black streaks that are mostly on the breast and sides.
Klages's antwren is native to northern Amazonia, where it occurs solely along the rio Branco... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Klages's Antwren sighting in Anavilhanas National Park on a given day, based on 131 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 22nd most-seen of the 291 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and September
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Klages's Antwren in Anavilhanas National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January, the lowest month.
Between 1 and 4 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Klages's Antwren 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 Klages's Antwren sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Klages's Antwren is recorded against all the birds logged in Anavilhanas National Park (131 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.
