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 Santos on a given day, based on 25 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 120th most-seen of the 203 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January and February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Euler's Flycatcher in Santos on a given day, against under 5% in March to December, the lowest months. Those are among Santos's wettest months, with about 190 mm of rain a month against 40 mm in August.
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.
5th of 10
Of the 10 cities where we can rate Euler's Flycatcher sightings, Santos ranks 5th 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 Santos (family Tyrannidae, Tyrant Flycatchers) are Great Kiskadee (about 90%), Social Flycatcher (about 60%) and Tropical Kingbird (about 50%), 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 Santos (25 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.
