The thick-billed euphonia (Euphonia laniirostris) is a species of bird in the family Fringillidae, the finches and euphonias. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. The thick-billed euphonia was originally described in 1837 with its current binomial Euphonia laniirostris (though spelled as "E. lanii rostris"). The genus Euphonia had long been placed in the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers. Multiple studies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries resulted in its being reassigned to its present place in the family Fringillidae.
The thick-billed euphonia has these five subspecies: Subspecies E. l. melanura was originally described as a full species. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Thick-billed Euphonia sighting in Medellín on a given day, based on 1,152 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 24th most-seen of the 244 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–June and September–December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Thick-billed Euphonia in Medellín on a given day, against about 20% in January and July–August, the lowest months.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Thick-billed Euphonia is recorded against all the birds logged in Medellín (1,152 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.
