The white-eyed stipplethroat was described by the Austrian ornithologist August von Pelzeln in 1868 and given the binomial name Formicivora leucophthalma. It was later placed in genus Myrmotherula and still later, based on genetic and vocal studies, it and seven other members of the genus were moved to genus Epinecrophylla. All were eventually named "stipplethroats" to highlight a common feature and to set them apart from Myrmotherula antwrens.
The white-eyed stipplethroat has these four subspecies: The white-eyed stipplethroat is 9.5 to 11 cm (3.7 to 4.3 in) long and weighs 8 to 10.5 g (0.28 to 0.37... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-eyed Antwren sighting in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, based on 157 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 262nd most-seen of the 550 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
July–August and October–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a White-eyed Antwren in Tambopata National Reserve on a given day, against under 5% in January–June and September, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-eyed Antwren 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 2 parks where we can rate White-eyed Antwren sightings, Tambopata National Reserve has the highest daily chance: under 5%. Next come Manu National Park (Peru, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-eyed Antwren is recorded against all the birds logged in Tambopata National Reserve (157 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.
