The moustached wren (Pheugopedius genibarbis) is a species of bird in the family Troglodytidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The moustached wren was at one time treated as conspecific with the whiskered wren (Pheugopedius mystaclais). It has four subspecies:
The nominate adult has an olivaceous gray-brown crown and nape, bright chestnut back and rump, and a dull brown tail with narrow blackish bars. It has a white supercilium and eyering, a black stripe through the eye, gray-black cheeks streaked with white, a white moustachial stripe, and a black malar stripe.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Moustached Wren sighting in Madidi National Park on a given day, based on 46 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 44th most-seen of the 239 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.
July
In that month about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Moustached Wren in Madidi National Park on a given day, against about 10% in April, June and August, the lowest months. That is one of Madidi National Park's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 290 mm in February. March and December have too few records to rate.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Moustached Wren sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 8
Of the 8 parks where we can rate Moustached Wren sightings, Madidi National Park ranks 3rd at about 20%. The best odds are in Amboró National Park (Bolivia, about 60%) and Chapada Diamantina National Park (Brazil, about 40%). All parks ranked.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Moustached Wren is recorded against all the birds logged in Madidi National Park (46 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.
