The streak-throated hermit (Phaethornis rupurumii), also known as the Rupurumi hermit, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, and Venezuela.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Streak-throated Hermit sighting in Anavilhanas National Park on a given day, based on 125 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 30th 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.
September
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Streak-throated Hermit in Anavilhanas National Park on a given day, against about 10% in January and November, the lowest months. That is one of Anavilhanas National Park's driest months, with about 90 mm of rain against 340 mm in March.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Streak-throated Hermit sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 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 Streak-throated Hermit sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Streak-throated Hermit is recorded against all the birds logged in Anavilhanas National Park (125 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.
