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 →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Moustached Wren sighting in Belém on a given day, based on 40 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 47th most-seen of the 144 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and November–December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Moustached Wren in Belém on a given day, against about 10% in January–February, June–August and October, the lowest months. Those are among Belém's driest months, with about 110 mm of rain a month against 440 mm in March.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Moustached Wren 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 10 cities where we can rate Moustached Wren sightings, Belém ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in São Luís (Brazil, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Moustached Wren is recorded against all the birds logged in Belém (40 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.
