The white-throated manakin (Corapipo gutturalis) is a species of bird in the family Pipridae. It is found in Brazil, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the white-throated manakin in his Ornithologie. He used the French name Le manakin à gorge blanche and the Latin Manacus gutture albo. Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognized by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his Systema Naturae for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the white-throated manakin. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name Pipra gutturalis and cited Brisson's work. The specific name gutturalis is Medieval Latin for "of the thoat". This species is now placed in the genus Corapipo that was introduced by the French naturalist Charles Lucien Bonaparte in 1854.
The white-throated manakin is monotypic. The white-throated manakin is 8.5 to 9.5 cm (3.3... Wikipedia →

Likely
About 50% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Manakin sighting in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, based on 116 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 16th most-seen of the 221 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and April
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Manakin in Brownsberg Nature Park on a given day, against about 20% in November, the lowest month. May to July have too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-throated Manakin 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 White-throated Manakin sightings: about 50% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Pipridae
The closest relatives of the White-throated Manakin that you can see in Brownsberg Nature Park (family Pipridae, Manakins) are White-fronted Manakin (about 50%), Golden-headed Manakin (about 40%) and White-crowned Manakin (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Manakin is recorded against all the birds logged in Brownsberg Nature Park (116 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.
