The flavescent warbler (Myiothlypis flaveola) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Paraguay, and Venezuela. Its specific epithet and English name derive from the Latin flaveolus meaning yellowish.
The flavescent warbler was formally described in 1865 with its present binomial Myiothlypis flaveolus. For a time it and a few other species were placed in genus Phaeothlypis and also in Basileuterus. By 2012 the IOC had returned it to Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.
The flavescent warbler's further taxonomy is unsettled. However, HBW does not recognize M. f. pallidirostris and treats the flavescent warbler as monotypic. Some authors have suggested that M. f. pallidirostris could be a separate species.
This article follows the majority two-subspecies model. The flavescent warbler is about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) long and weighs 9 to 16 g (0.32 to... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flavescent Warbler sighting in Caracas on a given day, based on 139 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 142nd most-seen of the 295 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Flavescent Warbler in Caracas on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Flavescent Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 8
Of the 8 cities where we can rate Flavescent Warbler sightings, Caracas ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Campo Grande (Brazil, about 10%), Belo Horizonte (Brazil, about 10%) and Campinas (Brazil, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flavescent Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Caracas (139 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.
