The yellow-browed antbird, or yellow-browed antwarbler, (Hypocnemis hypoxantha) is a species of bird in subfamily Thamnophilinae of family Thamnophilidae, the "typical antbirds". It is found in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
The yellow-browed antbird was described by the English zoologist Philip Sclater in 1869 and given its current binomial name Hypocnemis hypoxantha. The specific epithet combines the Ancient Greek hupo meaning "beneath" and xanthos meaning "yellow". The yellow-browed antbird is the only species of genus Hypocnemis that was not formerly a member of the warbling antbird (H. cantator sensu lato) complex, and it might be more closely related to some members of genus Drymophila than to the other Hypocnemis species.
The yellow-browed antbird is 11 to 13 cm (4.3 to 5.1 in) long and weighs 10 to 13 g (0.35 to 0.46 oz). Adult males of the nominate subspecies have a black crown with white spots down its center. They have a bright lemon yellow supercilium and ear coverts, a black line... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-browed Antbird sighting in Yasuní National Park on a given day, based on 109 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 299th 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.
February and March
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-browed Antbird in Yasuní National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April to January, the lowest months.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-browed Antbird sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 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 Yellow-browed Antbird sightings, Yasuní National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%. The best odds are in Amacayacu National Natural Park (Colombia, about 10%) and Anavilhanas National Park (Brazil, under 5%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-browed Antbird is recorded against all the birds logged in Yasuní National Park (109 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.
