The rufous-rumped antwren (Euchrepomis callinota) is a species of bird in subfamily Euchrepomidinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela.
The rufous-rumped antwren was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1855 and given the binomial name Formicivora callinota. It was transferred to genus Terenura in 1885. There it remained until the current genus Euchrepomis was created in 2012 following phylogenetic analysis.
The rufous-rumped antwren has these four subspecies: Euchrepomis callinota callinota (Sclater, PL, 1855) Euchrepomis callinota peruviana (Meyer de Schauensee, 1945) Euchrepomis callinota venezuelana (Phelps, WH & Phelps, WH Jr, 1954)
Euchrepomis callinota guianensis (Blake, 1949) The rufous-rumped antwren is 10 to 12 cm (3.9 to 4.7 in) long and weighs about 7 to 9.5 g (0.25 to 0.34 oz). It is small, slender, and long-tailed, and somewhat resembles a greenlet or New World warbler. The sexes have different plumage. Adult males of the nominate subspecies E. c. callinota have blackish lores and line... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-rumped Antwren sighting in Darién National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 370th most-seen of the 397 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Rufous-rumped Antwren in Darién National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Rufous-rumped Antwren sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 4 parks where we can rate Rufous-rumped Antwren sightings, Darién National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Brownsberg Nature Park (Suriname, under 5%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Rufous-rumped Antwren is recorded against all the birds logged in Darién National Park (7 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.
