With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet sighting in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, based on 237 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 67th most-seen of the 228 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Lineated Barbet in Kuala Lumpur on a given day, against under 5% in August, the lowest month.
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.
10th of 12
Of the 12 cities where we can rate Lineated Barbet sightings, Kuala Lumpur ranks 10th at about 10%. 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 Kuala Lumpur (genus Psilopogon, Typical Asian Barbets) are Coppersmith Barbet (about 20%), Black-eared Barbet (about 10%) and Gold-whiskered Barbet (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 Kuala Lumpur (237 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.
