The white-ringed flycatcher (Conopias albovittatus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. The white-ringed flycatcher has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described as Pitangus albovittatus, grouping it with the great kiskadee (P. sulphuratus). In 1906 genus Coryphotriccus was erected for it. Starting in the 1960s authors began merging this genus into genus Conopias that had been erected in 1860. For a time it bore the binomial C. albovittata but early in the twenty-first century Conopias was recognized as masculine so the specific epithet was changed to albovittatus to match that gender.
What is now the yellow-throated flycatcher (C. parvus) was treated as a third subspecies but was separated in the early twenty-first century. The white-ringed flycatcher is 15 to 16.5 cm (5.9 to 6.5 in) long and weighs about 24 g (0.85 oz). The sexes have the same plumage; females are slightly smaller than males... Wikipedia →

Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Flycatcher sighting in Braulio Carrillo National Park on a given day, based on 193 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 240th most-seen of the 505 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June, August–October and December–January
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Flycatcher in Braulio Carrillo National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February–May, July and November, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-throated Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Braulio Carrillo National Park (193 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.
