The chestnut-bellied tit (Sittiparus castaneoventris) is a small passerine bird in the tit family Paridae that is endemic to Taiwan. The chestnut-bellied tit was first described by the English ornithologist John Gould in 1863 and given the binomial name Parus castaneoventris. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the varied tit but was promoted to species status after the publication of a phylogenetic study in 2014.
The species differs from the varied tit in having underparts of a deep chestnut colour. PARUS (Taiwanese satellite family) Birding In Taiwan: Endemic subspecies of Taiwan birds - first impressions Wikipedia →

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-bellied Tit sighting in Osaka on a given day, based on 1,498 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 26th most-seen of the 180 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February–April and September
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Chestnut-bellied Tit in Osaka on a given day, against about 20% in May–August and October–January, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chestnut-bellied Tit sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 14
Of the 14 cities where we can rate Chestnut-bellied Tit sightings, Osaka ranks 8th at about 20%. The best odds are in Sapporo (Japan, about 80%), Gwangju (South Korea, about 50%) and Sendai (Japan, about 50%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chestnut-bellied Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Osaka (1,498 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.
