The Peruvian warbling antbird or Peruvian antwarbler, (Hypocnemis peruviana) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The Peruvian warbling antbird was long considered a subspecies of the then warbling antbird Hypocnemis cantator sensu lato. Following a study published in 2007 that assessed vocal differences and to a lesser degree differences in plumages among the warbling antbird's subspecies, it and several others were elevated to full species status.
The Peruvian warbling antbird's further taxonomy is unsettled. However, BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World does not recognize saturata but treats what it calls the "Peruvian antwarbler" as monotypic.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Peruvian Warbling-Antbird sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 292 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 221st most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Peruvian Warbling-Antbird in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February, June and September–October, the lowest months. That is one of Manu National Park's wettest months, with about 250 mm of rain against 60 mm in August.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Peruvian Warbling-Antbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 6
Of the 6 parks where we can rate Peruvian Warbling-Antbird sightings, Manu National Park ranks 3rd at about 10%. The best odds are in Amacayacu National Natural Park (Colombia, about 30%) and Yasuní National Park (Ecuador, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Peruvian Warbling-Antbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (292 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.
