The ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner (Anabacerthia lichtensteini) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. The ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner was previously included in genus Philydor but a 2011 paper made it plain that it did not belong there. The same paper found the white-browed foliage-gleaner (A. amaurotis) and the ochre-breasted to be sister species.
The ochre-breasted foliage gleaner is monotypic. The ochre-breasted foliage-gleaner is 15 to 17 cm (5.9 to 6.7 in) long and weighs 18 to 24 g (0.63 to 0.85 oz). It is a medium-sized furnariid with a wedge-shaped bill that is the shortest in its genus. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have an ochraceous eye ring and sharply defined supercilium, a dark brownish band behind the eye, dull rufous-ochre ear coverts, and pale brownish lores. Their crown is dull gray-brown with vague paler streaks, their back rufescent brown, and their rump and uppertail coverts a slightly lighter rufescent brown. Their tail is mostly rufous with rufescent brown outer webs on the innermost pair of feathers. Their... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner sighting in Itatiaia National Park on a given day, based on 54 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 222nd most-seen of the 352 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.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner in Itatiaia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Itatiaia National Park's driest months, with about 25 mm of rain against 330 mm in December.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 5
Of the 5 parks where we can rate Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner sightings, Itatiaia National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Iguaçu National Park (Brazil, about 30%) and Iguazú National Park (Argentina, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Ochre-breasted Foliage-gleaner is recorded against all the birds logged in Itatiaia National Park (54 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.
