The fulvous-chinned nunlet (Nonnula sclateri) is a species of near-passerine bird in the family Bucconidae, the puffbirds, nunlets, and nunbirds. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The fulvous-chinned nunlet is monotypic. Its relationship to others of its genus has not been detailed but it is believed to be most closely related to the rusty-breasted nunlet (N. rubecula) and brown nunlet (N. brunnea). It has sometimes been considered conspecific with the latter.
The fulvous-chinned nunlet is 14 to 15.5 cm (5.5 to 6.1 in) long. Two males weighed 15.4 and 17 g (0.54 and 0.60 oz) and two females 19 and 19.9 g (0.67 and 0.70 oz). Its upperparts, wings, and tail are dull brown. Its lores are reddish brown and the cheeks dark gray. The chin is pale rufous ("fulvous") that blends to reddish brown on the throat and breast. The center of the belly is whitish and the flanks dull fulvous. The eye is brown with a narrow coral red or reddish purple ring around it. The maxilla is black, the mandible dark gray to greenish gray, and the feet gray to olive gray.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fulvous-chinned Nunlet sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 7 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 606th most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Fulvous-chinned Nunlet in Manu National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Fulvous-chinned Nunlet sightings with a recorded time, and nearly all of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Manu National Park, in our data
Manu National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Fulvous-chinned Nunlet sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Fulvous-chinned Nunlet is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (7 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.
