The pale-legged warbler (Myiothlypis signata) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The pale-legged warbler was formally described in 1906 with the binomial Basileuterus signatus. By 2012 the IOC had assigned it to Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.
The pale-legged warbler is 13.5 cm (5.3 in) long and weighs 12.1 to 13.4 g (0.43 to 0.47 oz). The sexes have the same plumage.

Their nape, upperparts, wings, and tail are olive-green. Their underparts are yellow with a faint olive wash on the sides of the breast and flanks. Subspecies M. s. flavovirens is overall slightly brighter than the nominate and has a thin blackish edge along the top of the supercilium. Both subspecies... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-legged Warbler 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 Pale-legged Warbler in Manu National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pale-legged Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Pale-legged Warbler sightings, Manu National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Amboró National Park (Bolivia, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-legged Warbler 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.
