The southern antpipit (Corythopis delalandi) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay. The southern antpipit was originally described as Muscicapa delalandi, a member of the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. It was eventually moved to genus Corythopis in the gnateater family Conopophagidae. Some authors later suggested that it belonged to family Formicariidae, the antthrushes. A study published in 1968 placed the genus in its current family, but there is still uncertanty about where it belongs. The southern antpipit shares genus Corythopis with the ringed antpipit (C. toquatus). They are treated as a superspecies and have been suggested to be conspecific.
The southern antpipit is monotypic. The southern antpipit is 13 to 14 cm (5.1 to 5.5 in) long and weighs 14 to 18 g (0.49 to 0.63 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults have a grayish olive crown, a faint whitish loral spot, and a faint whitish spot behind the eye on an otherwise pale grayish olive face. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are olive. Their chin and throat are creamy white.... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Antpipit sighting in Itatiaia National Park on a given day, based on 44 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 229th 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.
December
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Southern Antpipit in Itatiaia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January to November, the lowest months. That is one of Itatiaia National Park's wettest months, with about 330 mm of rain against 25 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Southern Antpipit 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 Southern Antpipit sightings, Itatiaia National Park ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Serra dos Órgãos National Park (Brazil, about 30%), Iguaçu National Park (Brazil, about 20%) and Iguazú National Park (Argentina, about 20%).

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Southern Antpipit is recorded against all the birds logged in Itatiaia National Park (44 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.
