The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a grayish or grayish brown crown, a wide whitish supercilium that begins at the lores and extends well past the eye, and a blackish "mask". Their upperparts are grayish brown or grayish. Their wings are a duskier grayish brown with a weak grayish cinnamon wing bar. The wing's secondaries have thin white edges and their tertials grayish cinnamon edges. Their tail is dusky grayish brown with white outer webs of the outermost feathers. Their throat is grayish, their breast dusky cinnamon, their lower belly deep cinnamon, and their vent white or grayish white. Juveniles have a creamy white supercilium. Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a d'Orbigny's Chat-Tyrant sighting in Lauca National Park on a given day, based on 164 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 58th most-seen of the 112 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a d'Orbigny's Chat-Tyrant in Lauca National Park on a given day, against about 10% in February, September and November, the lowest months. That is one of Lauca National Park's driest months, with almost no rain against 150 mm in January.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most d'Orbigny's Chat-Tyrant sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Lauca National Park, in our data
Lauca National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate d'Orbigny's Chat-Tyrant sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the d'Orbigny's Chat-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Lauca National Park (164 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.
