The dwarf cuckoo (Coccycua pumila) is a tropical American bird species of the cuckoo family (Cuculidae). It was formerly placed in the genus Coccyzus or Micrococcyx. Following the discovery that it belongs to a distinct lineage around the little cuckoo, the genus Coccycua has been reinstated for these.
It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest, and heavily degraded former forest. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dwarf Cuckoo sighting in Barranquilla on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 126th most-seen of the 153 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and June
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Dwarf Cuckoo in Barranquilla on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and July–January, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dwarf Cuckoo sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Barranquilla, in our data
Barranquilla is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dwarf Cuckoo sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dwarf Cuckoo is recorded against all the birds logged in Barranquilla (13 verified sightings), 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.
