What is now the white-eyed tody-tyrant (H. zosterops) was for a time treated as conspecific with the white-bellied. A few authors have treated naumburgae as a subspecies of the white-eyed tody-tyrant but that assignment has not been widely accepted.

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-bellied Tody-Tyrant sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 197 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 277th 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 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and June–November
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-bellied Tody-Tyrant in Manu National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–May and December–January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-bellied Tody-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.
Among the best
Of the 2 parks where we can rate White-bellied Tody-Tyrant sightings, Manu National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, about 10%).
Same genus: Hemitriccus
The closest relatives of the White-bellied Tody-Tyrant that you can see in Manu National Park (genus Hemitriccus, Tody-Tyrants and Bamboo-Tyrants) are Johannes's Tody-Tyrant (about 10%) and Flammulated Pygmy-Tyrant (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-bellied Tody-Tyrant is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (197 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.
