The bran-colored flycatcher (Myiophobus fasciatus) is a small passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama, on Trinidad, and in every mainland South American country except Chile. The bran-colored flycatcher has these five subspecies:

Following studies that identified plumage and vocal differences among them, beginning in 2016 taxonomic systems began splitting them. Somewhat earlier, the olive-chested flycatcher (M. cryptoxanthus), which had also been described as a species and later merged into the bran-colored flycatcher, was again recognized as a full species. The two of them form a superspecies, and some authors have... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Bran-colored Flycatcher sighting in Cali on a given day, based on 48 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 104th most-seen of the 226 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Bran-colored Flycatcher in Cali on a given day, against under 5% in December to October, the lowest months. That is one of Cali's wettest months, with about 150 mm of rain against 40 mm in August.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Bran-colored Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bran-colored Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Cali (48 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.
