The olive-striped flycatcher (Mionectes galbinus) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Trinidad, and Venezuela. The four subspecies of what is now the olive-striped flycatcher were previously treated as subspecies of what is now the olive-streaked flycatcher (Mionectes olivaceus). (Confusingly, the original unsplit species was called the olive-striped flycatcher but bore the present olive-streaked flycatcher's binomial Mionectes olivaceus.) Based primarily on vocal differences the species were separated by taxonomic systems beginning in 2016, leaving the olive-streaked flycatcher as a monotypic species. However, as of late 2024, the North American and South American Classification Committees of the American Ornithological Society have not agreed to the split. They retain the olive-striped flycatcher/Mionectes olivaceus names.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-striped Flycatcher sighting in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, based on 57 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 385th most-seen of the 550 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Olive-striped Flycatcher in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in August to June, the lowest months. That is one of Tambopata National Reserve's driest months, with about 45 mm of rain against 420 mm in February.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Olive-striped 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.
7th of 8
Of the 8 parks where we can rate Olive-striped Flycatcher sightings, Tambopata National Reserve ranks 7th at under 5%. The best odds are in Henri Pittier National Park (Venezuela, about 30%), Darién National Park (Panama, about 10%) and Chagres National Park (Panama, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Olive-striped Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Tambopata National Reserve (57 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.
