The ochre-lored flatbill (Tolmomyias flaviventris) or yellow-breasted flycatcher, is a passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.
The ochre-lored flatbill was originally described as Muscipeta flaventris. The ochre-lored flatbill's taxonomy is complicated. The three subspecies of what is now the olive-faced flatbill (T. viridiceps) were previously included within the ochre-lored. Taxonomic systems began separating them in 2020 and the process continued into 2024. They might be valid, and some subspecies may warrant treatment as full species.
The ochre-lored flatbill is about 12 to 13 cm (4.7 to 5.1 in) long and weighs 9 to 17.5 g (0.32 to 0.62 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-breasted Flycatcher sighting in Recife on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 36th most-seen of the 90 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-breasted Flycatcher in Recife on a given day, against about 10% in January–February, April and September, the lowest months. That is one of Recife's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 260 mm in June.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-breasted 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.
4th of 11
Of the 11 cities where we can rate Yellow-breasted Flycatcher sightings, Recife ranks 4th at about 20%. The best odds are in João Pessoa (Brazil, about 30%), São Luís (Brazil, about 30%) and Valencia (Venezuela, about 30%).
Same family: Tyrannidae
The closest relatives of the Yellow-breasted Flycatcher that you can see in Recife (family Tyrannidae, Tyrant Flycatchers) are Great Kiskadee (about 80%), Masked Water-Tyrant (about 70%) and Social Flycatcher (about 70%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-breasted Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Recife (21 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.
