The members of genus Anairetes are known commonly as tit-tyrants because their active foraging behavior and crests are reminiscent of the true tits in the family Paridae. The genus had formerly been named Spizitornis. The yellow-billed tit-tyrant has these four subspecies:

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant sighting in Lauca National Park on a given day, based on 243 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 45th most-seen of the 112 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–August and October
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant in Lauca National Park on a given day, against about 20% in December to March, the lowest months. Those are among Lauca National Park's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 150 mm in January.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 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 Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-billed Tit-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Lauca National Park (243 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.
