The superciliaried hemispingus (Thlypopsis superciliaris) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and degraded former forest.
The superciliaried hemispingus was formally described as Arremon superciliaris by the French ornithologist Frédéric de Lafresnaye in 1840. Lafresnaye described the species based on a specimen from "Santa Fe de Bogota", which is current-day Bogotá, Colombia. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word meaning "eyebrowed". The superciliaried hemispingus has seven recognised subspecies in four subspecies groups. The irregular and non-clinal variation in morphological features such as the color of the underparts and supercilium suggests that several of these subspecies may be better treated as separate species.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Superciliaried Hemispingus sighting in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, based on 26 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.
February and September
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Superciliaried Hemispingus in Podocarpus National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–August and October–January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Superciliaried Hemispingus sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
3rd of 3
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Superciliaried Hemispingus sightings, Podocarpus National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Chingaza National Natural Park (Colombia, about 20%) and Los Nevados National Natural Park (Colombia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Superciliaried Hemispingus is recorded against all the birds logged in Podocarpus National Park (26 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.
