Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet sighting in Chattogram on a given day, based on 15 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 35th most-seen of the 76 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet in Chattogram on a given day, against about 10% in February, June and December, the lowest months. That is one of Chattogram's driest months, with about 40 mm of rain against 780 mm in July. April and July–August have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Lineated Barbet sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Lineated Barbet sightings, Chattogram ranks 8th at about 20%. The best odds are in Savar (Bangladesh, about 80%), Tamluk (India, about 60%) and Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 50%).
Same order: Piciformes
The closest relatives of the Lineated Barbet that you can see in Chattogram (order Piciformes, Woodpeckers and Allies) are Streak-throated Woodpecker (about 20%), Black-rumped Flameback (about 20%) and Eurasian Wryneck (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Lineated Barbet is recorded against all the birds logged in Chattogram (15 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.
