The white-rimmed warbler or white-browed warbler (Myiothlypis leucoblephara) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers.

For a time it and a few other species were placed in genus Phaeothlypis and also in Basileuterus. By 2012 the IOC had assigned it to Myiothlypis.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-browed Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Porto Alegre (393 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.
