The barred antthrush (Chamaeza mollissima) is a species of bird in the family Formicariidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The rufous-tailed antthrush is 19 to 20.5 cm (7.5 to 8.1 in) long and weighs about 69 to 80 g (2.4 to 2.8 oz). The sexes are alike. Adults have a chestnut to dark brown crown. They have whitish lores, a white streak with black bars behind their eye, a chestnut streak below the eye, and black and white barred ear coverts. Their upperparts, wings, and tail are mostly chestnut to dark brown with a slightly more rufescent rump and uppertail coverts. Their throat has narrow black and white bars. Their underparts are mostly dark brown to black with narrow white or buff bars and brown lower flanks. Their iris is dark brown, their bill black with a dark brown base to the mandible, and their legs and feet gray-brown. Subspecies C. m. yungae is darker than the nominate, with broken rather than uniform pale bars on their underparts that give a somewhat spotted look. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Barred Antthrush sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 28 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 282nd most-seen of the 446 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Barred Antthrush in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, against under 5% in October to August, the lowest months.
Between midnight and 3 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Barred Antthrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is seen both by day and at night.
Only Podocarpus National Park, in our data
Podocarpus National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Barred Antthrush sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Barred Antthrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Podocarpus National Park (28 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.
