The bold-striped tit-babbler (Mixornis bornensis) is a species of Old World babbler found in Southeast Asia. The bold-striped tit-babbler has a distinctive yellowish supercilium and rufous crown. The throat is yellowish with brown streaks.
Call is a loud repeated chonk-chonk-chonk-chonk-chonk somewhat reminiscent of a common tailorbird. The bold-striped tit-babbler is found in Borneo and Java. Bold-striped tit-babblers forage in small flocks and creep and clamber in low vegetation. They breed in the pre-monsoon season from February to July and build a loose ball-shaped nest made from grasses and leaves. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Bold-striped Tit-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Bako National Park (83 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.
