Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant sighting in Cochabamba on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 76th most-seen of the 112 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant in Cochabamba on a given day, against under 5% in September and November–May, the lowest months. That is one of Cochabamba's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 100 mm in January.

Of the 4 cities where we can rate Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant sightings, Cochabamba has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Arequipa (Peru, under 5%) and Cordoba (Argentina, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Cochabamba (15 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.
