The brown-bellied stipplethroat, previously called brown-bellied antwren (Epinecrophylla gutturalis) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela.
The brown-bellied stipplethroat was described by the English ornithologists Philip Sclater and Osbert Salvin in 1881 and given the binomial name Myrmotherula gutturalis. Based on genetic and vocal studies it and seven other members of the genus were moved to the genus Epinecrophylla that was created in 2006. All were eventually named "stipplethroats" to highlight a common feature and to set them apart from Myrmotherula antwrens.
The brown-bellied stipplethroat is monotypic. The brown-bellied stipplethroat is 9.5 to 10.5 cm (3.7 to 4.1 in) long and weighs 7.5 to 9.5 g (0.26 to 0.34 oz). Adult males have a mostly gray face and a black throat with white spots. They have an olive-brown crown, upperparts, tail, and flight feathers. Their wing coverts are a darker olive-brown with small white tips. Their breast and upper belly are gray that becomes gray with a clay-colored tinge... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-bellied Antwren sighting in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, based on 64 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 68th most-seen of the 221 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Brown-bellied Antwren in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, against about 20% in January–March, August–September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Brownsberg Nature Park's driest months, with about 55 mm of rain against 490 mm in May. May to July have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Brown-bellied Antwren 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 Brownsberg Nature Park, in our data
Brownsberg Nature Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Brown-bellied 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 Brown-bellied Antwren is recorded against all the birds logged in Brownsberg Nature Park (64 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.
