The citrine warbler (Myiothlypis luteoviridis) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. The species' English name derives from the Latin citrus which means "yellow".
The citrine warbler was formally described in 1845 as Trichas luteoviridis. At some point it was reassigned to genus Basileuterus. By 2012 the IOC had reassigned it to its present genus Myiothlypis. BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World (HBW) did so in 2016.
The citrine warbler's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, the Clements taxonomy, and AviList assign it these five subspecies: Myiothlypis luteoviridis luteoviridis (Bonaparte, 1845) Myiothlypis luteoviridis quindiana (Meyer de Schauensee, 1946)
Myiothlypis luteoviridis richardsoni (Chapman, 1912) Myiothlypis luteoviridis striaticeps Cabanis, 1873 Myiothlypis luteoviridis euophrys (Sclater, PL & Salvin, 1876) Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Citrine Warbler sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 290 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 56th most-seen of the 446 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
November and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Citrine Warbler in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, against about 10% in May and September, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Citrine Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Yes
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Citrine Warbler sightings, Podocarpus National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Los Nevados National Natural Park (Colombia, under 5%) and Farallones de Cali National Natural Park (Colombia, under 5%).
Same genus: Myiothlypis
The closest relatives of the Citrine Warbler that you can see in Podocarpus National Park (genus Myiothlypis) are Russet-crowned Warbler (about 30%) and Black-crested Warbler (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Citrine Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Podocarpus National Park (290 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.
