The white-throated laughingthrush (Pterorhinus albogularis) is a species of passerine bird in the family Leiothrichidae. It is found mainly in the northern regions of the Indian subcontinent, primarily the Himalayas, and some adjoining and disjunct areas. It ranges across Afghanistan, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Tibet and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
This species was formerly placed in the genus Garrulax but following the publication of a comprehensive molecular phylogenetic study in 2018, it was moved to the resurrected genus Pterorhinus. White-throated laughingthrush video on the Internet Bird Collection Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-throated Laughingthrush sighting in Kathmandu on a given day, based on 37 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 209th most-seen of the 312 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-throated Laughingthrush in Kathmandu on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-throated Laughingthrush sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
2nd of 3
Of the 3 cities where we can rate White-throated Laughingthrush sightings, Kathmandu ranks 2nd at under 5%. The best odds are in Changsha (China, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-throated Laughingthrush is recorded against all the birds logged in Kathmandu (37 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.
