The Pirre chlorospingus (Chlorospingus inornatus) or Pirre bush tanager is a species of bird in the family Passerellidae, the New World sparrows. It is endemic to Panama. The Pirre chlorospingus was formally described by Edward William Nelson in 1912 with the binomial Hylospingus inornatus and the English name "Mount Pirri Tanager". Nelson erected the genus for this species and noted the strong similarity of Hylospingus to the existing genus Chlorospingus. Genus Hylospingus was later subsumed into Chlorospingus. During the twentieth century and into the twenty-first the Chlorospingus species were members of the family Thraupidae, the "true" tanagers, though their position within the family were uncertain. Based on studies published in 2002, 2003, and 2007, beginning in 2010 taxonomic systems transferred Chlorospingus to its present sparrow family. The Chlorospingus species were originally called "bush tanagers" or "bush-tanagers". Beginning in 2013 systems began changing the English name of the members of the genus to "chlorospingus" because they were no longer considered tanagers.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Pirre Bush-Tanager sighting in Darién National Park on a given day, based on 77 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 127th most-seen of the 397 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and March
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Pirre Bush-Tanager in Darién National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Darién National Park's driest months, with about 130 mm of rain a month against 450 mm in November.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pirre Bush-Tanager sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Darién National Park, in our data
Darién National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Pirre Bush-Tanager sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pirre Bush-Tanager is recorded against all the birds logged in Darién National Park (77 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.
