The ochre-lored flatbill (Tolmomyias flaviventris) or yellow-breasted flycatcher, is a passerine bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.
The ochre-lored flatbill was originally described as Muscipeta flaventris. The ochre-lored flatbill's taxonomy is complicated. The three subspecies of what is now the olive-faced flatbill (T. viridiceps) were previously included within the ochre-lored.

The ochre-lored flatbill is about 12 to 13 cm (4.7 to 5.1 in) long and weighs 9 to 17.5 g (0.32 to 0.62 oz). The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-breasted Flycatcher sighting in Serra dos Órgãos National Park on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 308th most-seen of the 336 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.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-breasted Flycatcher in Serra dos Órgãos National Park on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-breasted Flycatcher sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
14th of 15
Of the 15 parks where we can rate Yellow-breasted Flycatcher sightings, Serra dos Órgãos National Park ranks 14th at under 5%. The best odds are in Main Ridge Forest Reserve (Trinidad and Tobago, about 40%), Chapada Diamantina National Park (Brazil, about 30%) and Tayrona National Natural Park (Colombia, about 20%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-breasted Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Serra dos Órgãos National Park (8 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.
