The white-streaked antvireo and what is now the plumbeous antvireo (D. plumbeus) were for a time treated as conspecific; they were separated in the early 2000s. At least one author has treated the latter as a separate species, the "Venezuelan antvireo".

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-streaked Antvireo sighting in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 174th most-seen of the 358 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.
April
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-streaked Antvireo in Henri Pittier National Park on a given day, against under 5% in May, August–September and November–January, the lowest months.
Only Henri Pittier National Park, in our data
Henri Pittier National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-streaked Antvireo sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-streaked Antvireo is recorded against all the birds logged in Henri Pittier National Park (28 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.
