The ochre-throated foliage-gleaner (Automolus ochrolaemus) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Panama and every mainland South American country except Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
The ochre-throated foliage-gleaner's taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, Clements, and the American Ornithological Society previously recognized exsertus as a separate species, the Chiriqui foliage-gleaner. Wikipedia →
Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-throated Foliage-gleaner sighting in Cusuco National Park on a given day, based on 21 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 168th most-seen of the 250 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June–July and October
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-throated Foliage-gleaner in Cusuco National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August–September and November–May, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ochre-throated Foliage-gleaner sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
10th of 23
Of the 23 parks where we can rate Ochre-throated Foliage-gleaner sightings, Cusuco National Park ranks 10th at under 5%. The best odds are in Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary (Belize, about 20%), Arenal Volcano National Park (Costa Rica, about 10%) and Darién National Park (Panama, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ochre-throated Foliage-gleaner is recorded against all the birds logged in Cusuco National Park (21 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
