The white-eyed stipplethroat, previously called white-eyed antwren (Epinecrophylla leucophthalma), is a species of bird in the family Thamnophilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru. The white-eyed stipplethroat was described by the Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln in 1868 and given the binomial name Formicivora leucophthalma. It was later placed in genus Myrmotherula and still later, based on genetic and vocal studies, it and seven other members of the genus were moved to genus Epinecrophylla. All were eventually named "stipplethroats" to highlight a common feature and to set them apart from Myrmotherula antwrens.
The white-eyed stipplethroat has these four subspecies: The white-eyed stipplethroat is 9.5 to 11 cm (3.7 to 4.3 in) long and weighs 8 to 10.5 g (0.28 to 0.37... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-eyed Antwren sighting in Manu National Park on a given day, based on 93 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 381st most-seen of the 641 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-eyed Antwren in Manu National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-eyed Antwren 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-eyed Antwren sightings, Manu National Park ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Tambopata National Reserve (Peru, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-eyed Antwren is recorded against all the birds logged in Manu National Park (93 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.
