The ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner (Anabacerthia lichtensteini) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner was previously included in genus Philydor but a 2011 paper made it plain that it did not belong there. The same paper found the white-browed foliage-gleaner (A. amaurotis) and the ochre-breasted to be sister species.
The ochre-breasted foliage gleaner is monotypic. The ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner is 15 to 17 cm (5.9 to 6.7 in) long and weighs 18 to 24 g (0.63 to 0.85 oz). It is a medium-sized furnariid with a wedge-shaped bill that is the shortest in its genus. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have an ochraceous eye ring and sharply defined supercilium, a dark brownish band behind the eye, dull rufous-ochre ear coverts, and pale brownish lores. Their crown is dull gray-brown with vague paler streaks, their back rufescent brown, and their rump and uppertail coverts a slightly lighter rufescent brown. Their tail is mostly rufous with rufescent brown outer webs on the innermost pair of feathers. Their... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner sighting in Rio de Janeiro on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 224th most-seen of the 278 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner 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 Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Rio de Janeiro, in our data
Rio de Janeiro is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner is recorded against all the birds logged in Rio de Janeiro (12 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.
