The Beijing babbler (Rhopophilus pekinensis), also known as the white-browed Chinese warbler, Chinese hill warbler, or Chinese bush-dweller, is a species of bird in the genus Rhopophilus. It is now thought to be a close relative of the parrotbills and is placed in the family Paradoxornithidae; previously, it was placed in the families Cisticolidae, Timaliidae or Sylviidae. It is found in northern China and North Korea, and formerly occurred in South Korea. The species was first described by Robert Swinhoe in 1868.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Chinese Warbler sighting in Beijing on a given day, based on 117 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 168th most-seen of the 324 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, and over a week to about 10%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-browed Chinese Warbler in Beijing on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate White-browed Chinese Warbler sightings, Beijing ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Shijiazhuang (China, under 5%).
Same family: Sylviidae
The closest relatives of the White-browed Chinese Warbler that you can see in Beijing (family Sylviidae, Sylviid Warblers and Allies) are Vinous-throated Parrotbill (about 40%) and Reed Parrotbill (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-browed Chinese Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Beijing (117 verified sightings), 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.
