The white-throated kingbird (Tyrannus albogularis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela, in French Guiana as a vagrant, and possibly in Argentina and Colombia.
The white-throated kingbird is monotypic. The white-throated kingbird is 20 to 21 cm (7.9 to 8.3 in) long and weighs 35 to 38 g (1.2 to 1.3 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a mostly pale gray head with a partially hidden pale orange or yellowish patch in the center of the crown. They have a dusky band from the lores to the ear coverts that forms a "mask". Their upperparts are mostly bright olive green. Their wings are dull blackish brown with pale edges on the coverts and secondaries. Their tail is black and notched. Their throat is white and their underparts bright yellow with a very faint tinge of olive on the breast. They have a dark iris, a stout dark bill, and blackish legs and feet.
The white-throated kingbird's full range has not been firmly established. It is definitely found from eastern Ecuador and eastern Peru... Wikipedia →

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Kingbird sighting in Emas National Park on a given day, based on 56 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 75th most-seen of the 187 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Kingbird in Emas National Park on a given day, against about 10% in June and July, the lowest months. That is one of Emas National Park's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain against 190 mm in January. April and December–February have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Kingbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Emas National Park (56 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.
