Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Dusky-chested Flycatcher sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 90 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 316th most-seen of the 533 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dusky-chested Flycatcher is recorded against all the birds logged in Yasuní National Park (90 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.
