Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet sighting in Kolkata on a given day, based on 2,268 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 31st most-seen of the 247 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.
April
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet in Kolkata on a given day, against about 10% in June–September and December, the lowest months. That is one of Kolkata's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 330 mm in July.
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.
7th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Lineated Barbet sightings, Kolkata ranks 7th at about 20%. The best odds are in Savar (Bangladesh, about 80%), Tamluk (India, about 60%) and Dhaka (Bangladesh, about 50%).
Same genus: Psilopogon
The closest relatives of the Lineated Barbet that you can see in Kolkata (genus Psilopogon, Typical Asian Barbets) are Coppersmith Barbet (about 40%) and Blue-throated Barbet (about 40%), 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 Kolkata (2,268 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.
