The ash-colored cuckoo (Coccycua cinerea) is an 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.
Its range extends from northern and central Argentina to Uruguay and São Paulo (state); its wintering range extend northwards towards Amazonas. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ash-colored Cuckoo sighting in Buenos Aires on a given day, based on 152 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 180th most-seen of the 274 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ash-colored Cuckoo in Buenos Aires on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ash-colored Cuckoo 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 Buenos Aires, in our data
Buenos Aires is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ash-colored 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 Ash-colored Cuckoo is recorded against all the birds logged in Buenos Aires (152 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.
