The white-throated cacholote (Pseudoseisura gutturalis) is a species of bird in the Furnariinae subfamily of the ovenbird family Furnariidae. It is endemic to Argentina. The white-throated cacholote's taxonomy is unsettled. The Clements taxonomy does not recognize P. g. ochroleuca, treating the white-throated cacholote as monotypic.
This article follows the two-subspecies model. The white-throated cacholote is 22 to 23 cm (8.7 to 9.1 in) long and weighs 63 to 79 g (2.2 to 2.8 oz). It is one of the largest furnariids and has a small crest. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies have a white eyering and lores on an otherwise dark brownish gray face. Their crown and upperparts are also dark brownish gray. Their wings are mostly the same dark brownish gray, with slightly paler edges on the coverts and flight feathers. Their tail is dark fuscous gray with slightly paler edges to the feathers... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Cacholote sighting in Península Valdés on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 92nd most-seen of the 96 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September and December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Cacholote in Península Valdés on a given day, against under 5% in January–May, August and October–November, the lowest months. June and July have too few records to rate.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-throated Cacholote sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Península Valdés, in our data
Península Valdés is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-throated Cacholote sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Furnariidae
The closest relatives of the White-throated Cacholote that you can see in Península Valdés (family Furnariidae, Ovenbirds and Woodcreepers) are Sharp-billed Canastero (about 30%), Plain-mantled Tit-Spinetail (about 20%) and Common Miner (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Cacholote is recorded against all the birds logged in Península Valdés (6 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.
