The white-rimmed warbler or white-browed warbler (Myiothlypis leucoblephara) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers.

For a time it and a few other species were placed in genus Phaeothlypis and also in Basileuterus. By 2012 the IOC had assigned it to Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Warbler sighting in El Palmar National Park on a given day, based on 138 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 36th most-seen of the 151 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April and September
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Warbler in El Palmar National Park on a given day, against about 20% in January, the lowest month.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-browed Warbler 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 8 parks where we can rate White-browed Warbler sightings, El Palmar National Park ranks 2nd at about 40%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Itatiaia National Park (Brazil, about 40%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-browed Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in El Palmar National Park (138 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.
