The long-billed wren (Cantorchilus longirostris) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The long-billed wren has been treated as being conspecific with the buff-breasted wren (Cantorchilus leucotis). The latter has been suggested for elevation to species status.
The long-billed wren is 19 to 21.5 cm (7.5 to 8.5 in) long and weighs 20 to 21 g (0.71 to 0.74 oz). The crown and nape of adults of the nominate subspecies are rich dark brown that becomes progressively more reddish to the rump; the lower back has obscure bars. Their tail is reddish brown with darker bars. They have an off-white supercilium, a darkish brown eyestripe, cheeks mottled off-white and dark gray, and a blackish malar stripe. Their throat color ranges from whitish to pale buff; their chest is reddish buff and the belly a deep rich buff. Juveniles are almost the same but their facial markings are not as distinct. C. l. bahiae is paler overall than the nominate, with the underparts' colors being much less saturated. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Long-billed Wren sighting in Niterói on a given day, based on 251 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 25th most-seen of the 116 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
August
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Long-billed Wren in Niterói on a given day, against about 10% in January, March, May–June and October–November, the lowest months. That is one of Niterói's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 230 mm in December.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Long-billed Wren sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Long-billed Wren sightings, Niterói ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Long-billed Wren is recorded against all the birds logged in Niterói (251 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.
