The moustached wren (Pheugopedius genibarbis) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The moustached wren was at one time treated as conspecific with the whiskered wren (Pheugopedius mystaclais). It has four subspecies:
The nominate adult has an olivaceous gray-brown crown and nape, bright chestnut back and rump, and a dull brown tail with narrow blackish bars. It has a white supercilium and eyering, a black stripe through the eye, gray-black cheeks streaked with white, a white moustachial stripe, and a black malar stripe. Its throat and upper chest are white, its lower chest buffy, and its flanks and belly deeper brown. Compared to the adult, the juvenile's crown is browner, its back duller and less deeply chestnut, and it has less well defined facial markings and more diffuse bars on the tail.
P. g. juruanus is larger than the nominate and its underparts are paler. P.... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Moustached Wren is recorded against all the birds logged in Chapada Diamantina National Park (307 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.
