The blue-lored antbird (Hafferia immaculata) is a species of antbird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Colombia and Venezuela. The blue-lored antbird was described in 1845 as Turdus immaculatus. It was later included in genera Percnostola and Myrmeciza. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2013 found that Myrmeciza, as then defined, was polyphyletic. In the resulting rearrangement to create monophyletic genera, the blue-lored antbird was moved to the newly erected genus Hafferia.
Until about 2012 Myrmeciza immaculata was called the immaculate antbird. It included what is now the blue-lored antbird as its nominate subspecies and what is now Zeledon's antbird (H. zeledoni) as two other subspecies. The blue-lored antbird is 18 to 19 cm (7.1 to 7.5 in) long and weighs about 39 to 44 g (1.4 to 1.6 oz). Both sexes have pale blue lores, a ring of bare pale blue skin around their eye, and a deep red iris. Adult males of the nominate subspecies... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-lored Antbird sighting in Farallones de Cali National Natural Park on a given day, based on 96 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 265th most-seen of the 542 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Blue-lored Antbird in Farallones de Cali National Natural Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Blue-lored Antbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Farallones de Cali National Natural Park, in our data
Farallones de Cali National Natural Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Blue-lored Antbird sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Blue-lored Antbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Farallones de Cali National Natural Park (96 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.
