The stripe-necked tody-tyrant (Hemitriccus striaticollis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The stripe-necked tody-tyrant has a complicated taxonomic history. It was originally described in 1853 as Todirostrum striaticolle. During different parts of the twentieth century it was placed in genera Euscarthmornis and Idioptilon, both of which were eventually merged into Hemitriccus. Also during parts of the twentieth century what are now Johannes's tody-tyrant (H. iohannis) and the white-eyed tody-tyrant (H. zosterops) were treated as subspecies of the stripe-necked tody-tyrant.
Some authors doubt the validity of the latter. The stripe-necked tody-tyrant is 11 to 12 cm (4.3 to 4.7 in) long and weighs 7.8 to 11 g (0.28 to 0.39 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a grayish brown crown. They have a large white spot above the lores, a white eye-ring, and grayish brown ear coverts.... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant sighting in Chapada Diamantina National Park on a given day, based on 14 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 221st most-seen of the 271 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April–June and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant in Chapada Diamantina National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January–March and July–November, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant sightings, Chapada Diamantina National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Sierra de la Macarena National Park (Colombia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Stripe-necked Tody-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Chapada Diamantina National Park (14 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.
