The one-colored becard (Pachyramphus homochrous) is a species of bird in the family Tityridae, the tityras, becards, and allies. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. The one-colored becard was originally described in 1859 as Pachyramphus homochrous, its current binomial. For a time it and several other becards were placed in genus Platypsaris which was merged by most taxonomists into Pachyramphus in 1973. It is now one of 18 becards in genus Pachyramphus that had been introduced in 1839 by George Gray. The genus Pachyramphus has variously been assigned to the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae and the cotinga family Cotingidae. Several early twenty-first century studies confirmed the placement of Pachyramphus in Tityridae and taxonomic systems made the reassignment. In 1998 the American Ornithological Society was unsure where to place the genus and listed its members as incertae sedis but in 2011 moved them to Tityridae.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a One-colored Becard sighting in Guayaquil on a given day, based on 107 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 53rd most-seen of the 167 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and November–December

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the One-colored Becard is recorded against all the birds logged in Guayaquil (107 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.
