The white-rimmed warbler or white-browed warbler (Myiothlypis leucoblephara) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The white-rimmed warbler was formally described in 1817 with the binomial Sylvia leucoblephara. For a time it and a few other species were placed in genus Phaeothlypis and also in Basileuterus. By 2012 the IOC had assigned it to Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.
The white-rimmed warbler's further taxonomy is unsettled. This article follows the majority two-subspecies model. The white-rimmed warbler is about 14.5 cm (5.7 in) long and weighs 14 to 21 g (0.49 to 0.74 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Warbler sighting in Iguazú National Park on a given day, based on 91 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 223rd most-seen of the 343 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Warbler in Iguazú National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-browed Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
7th of 8
Of the 8 parks where we can rate White-browed Warbler sightings, Iguazú National Park ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Itatiaia National Park (Brazil, about 40%), El Palmar National Park (Argentina, about 40%) and Iberá National Park (Argentina, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-browed Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Iguazú National Park (91 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.
