The ticking doradito (Pseudocolopteryx citreola) is a species of bird in subfamily Elaeniinae of family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and possibly Paraguay. The ticking doradito is monotypic. It was previously included within the warbling doradito (P. flaviventris) without being recognized as a subspecies. Taxonomic systems began separating them in 2010 based primarily on vocal differences.
The ticking doradito is about 12.5 cm (4.9 in) long and weighs 7.5 to 10 g (0.26 to 0.35 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly dull olive-brown head and upperparts. Their crown is rufescent, their lores and cheeks are dusky, and their tail is dusky olive-brown. Their wings are dull olive-brown with cinnamon edges on the flight feathers and tips on the wing coverts; the last show as two thin wing bars. Their throat and underparts are lemon yellow. Both sexes have a medium brown iris and dark gray legs and feet. Males have a slender, black, warbler-like bill; females have a mostly black bill with a pale pinkish base to the mandible.

Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Ticking Doradito in Buenos Aires on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ticking Doradito is recorded against all the birds logged in Buenos Aires (25 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.
