The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher (Poecilotriccus latirostris) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru. The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher was originally described in 1868 as Euscarthmus latirostris. It was later moved to genus Todirostrum. Following a 1988 publication, taxonomic systems moved latirostris and several other species from Todirostrum to genus Poecilotriccus. By the early twenty-first century genus Poecilotriccus had species called both "tody-tyrant" and "tody-flycatcher" so taxonomic systems began renaming the "tyrants" to "flycatcher". The rusty-fronted tody-flycatcher shares genus Poecilotriccus with 11 other species. It and the smoky-fronted tody-flycatcher (P. fumifrons) form a superspecies.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher sighting in Goiânia on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 160th most-seen of the 174 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 a Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher in Goiânia on a given day, against under 5% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Goiânia's wettest months, with about 240 mm of rain against almost none in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher 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 Goiânia, in our data
Goiânia is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rusty-fronted Tody-Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Goiânia (6 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.
