The southern antpipit (Corythopis delalandi) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. The southern antpipit was originally described as Muscicapa delalandi, a member of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It was eventually moved to genus Corythopis in the gnateater family Conopophagidae. Some authors later suggested that it belonged to family Formicariidae, the antthrushes. A study published in 1968 placed the genus in its current family, but there is still uncertanty about where it belongs. The southern antpipit shares genus Corythopis with the ringed antpipit (C. toquatus). They are treated as a superspecies and have been suggested to be conspecific.
The southern antpipit is monotypic. The southern antpipit is 13 to 14 cm (5.1 to 5.5 in) long and weighs 14 to 18 g (0.49 to 0.63 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a grayish olive crown, a faint whitish loral spot, and a faint whitish spot behind the eye on an otherwise pale grayish olive face. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive. Their chin and throat are creamy white.... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Antpipit sighting in Emas National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 152nd most-seen of the 187 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July to September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Antpipit in Emas National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March, May–June and October–November, the lowest months. Those are among Emas National Park's driest months, with about 15 mm of rain a month against 190 mm in January. April and December–February have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Antpipit sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
6th of 8
Of the 8 parks where we can rate Southern Antpipit sightings, Emas National Park ranks 6th at under 5%. The best odds are in Serra dos Órgãos National Park (Brazil, about 30%), Iguaçu National Park (Brazil, about 20%) and Iguazú National Park (Argentina, about 20%).
Same family: Tyrannidae
The closest relatives of the Southern Antpipit that you can see in Emas National Park (family Tyrannidae, Tyrant Flycatchers) are White-rumped Monjita (about 70%), Great Kiskadee (about 60%) and Grey Monjita (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Antpipit is recorded against all the birds logged in Emas National Park (10 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.
