Euler's flycatcher (Lathrotriccus euleri) is a small passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found on Trinidad and in every mainland South American country except Chile. It formerly was found on Grenada.
Euler's flycatcher has a complicated taxonomic history. Subspecies L. e. flaviventris was originally described as Blaccicus flaviventris. Subspecies L. e. lawrencei was originally described as Ochthaeca flaviventris but later renamed Empidonax lawrencei. In the early 1900s genus Empidochanes was merged into Empidonax. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Euler's Flycatcher sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 56 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 150th most-seen of the 278 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Euler's Flycatcher in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Euler's 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 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Euler's Flycatcher sightings, Rio de Janeiro ranks 4th at under 5%. The best odds are in Curitiba (Brazil, about 10%), Belo Horizonte (Brazil, under 5%) and São Paulo (Brazil, under 5%).
Same family: Tyrannidae
The closest relatives of the Euler's Flycatcher that you can see in Rio de Janeiro (family Tyrannidae, Tyrant Flycatchers) are Great Kiskadee (about 90%), Tropical Kingbird (about 70%) and Masked Water-Tyrant (about 70%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Euler's Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Rio de Janeiro (56 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.
