The flavescent warbler (Myiothlypis flaveola) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana, Paraguay, and Venezuela. Its specific epithet and English name derive from the Latin flaveolus meaning yellowish.
The flavescent warbler was formally described in 1865 with its present binomial Myiothlypis flaveolus. For a time it and a few other species were placed in genus Phaeothlypis and also in Basileuterus. By 2012 the IOC had returned it to Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.
The flavescent warbler's further taxonomy is unsettled. However, HBW does not recognize M. f. pallidirostris and treats the flavescent warbler as monotypic. Some authors have suggested that M. f. pallidirostris could be a separate species.
This article follows the majority two-subspecies model. The flavescent warbler is about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) long and weighs 9 to 16 g (0.32 to... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Flavescent Warbler sighting in Parque Estadual Encontro das Águas on a given day, based on 129 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 149th most-seen of the 308 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Flavescent Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Parque Estadual Encontro das Águas (129 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.
