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 Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 666 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 40th most-seen of the 278 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.
January
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Long-billed Wren in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, against about 20% in February to December, the lowest months. That is one of Rio de Janeiro's wettest months, with about 210 mm of rain against 40 mm in August.
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.
Yes
Of the 4 cities where we can rate Long-billed Wren sightings, Rio de Janeiro has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Niterói (Brazil, about 20%) and Santos (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 Rio de Janeiro (666 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.
