The suiriri flycatcher (Suiriri suiriri) is a species of bird in subfamily Elaeniinae of family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Suriname, and Uruguay. The suiriri flycatcher was described by the French ornithologist Louis Pierre Vieillot in 1818 under the binomial name Muscicapa suiriri. The type locality is Puerto Pinasco in Paraguay.
The suiriri flycatcher is the only member of its genus. Into the early twenty-first century the suiriri flycatcher had a complicated taxonomic history. Based on a study published in 2014 the chapada flycatcher's binomial was changed to S. affinis.
Some taxonomic systems had split the suiriri flycatcher into two species... Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Suiriri Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in El Palmar National Park (20 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.
