The pin-striped tit-babbler (Mixornis gularis), also known as the yellow-breasted babbler, is a species of bird in the Old World babbler family Timaliidae that is found in South and Southeast Asia.

The pin-striped tit-babbler was formerly placed in the genus Macronus but based on the results of a large molecular phylogenetic study published in 2019, the species was moved to the genus Mixornis that had been introduced in 1842 by the English zoologist Edward Blyth. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek mixis meaning "mixed" or "mingling" with ornis meaning "bird". The specific epithet gularis is Modern Latin meaning "-throated". The pin-striped tit-babbler belongs within a clade that includes the genera Dumetia and Timalia.
The species has also been split following a study by Nigel Collar to distinguish the morphologically distinct Bornean and Javan populations, which have since been renamed the bold-striped tit-babbler (Mixornis bornensis), from the rest of the pin... Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pin-striped Tit-Babbler sighting in Phnom Penh on a given day, based on 13 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 123rd most-seen of the 154 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to under 5%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pin-striped Tit-Babbler in Phnom Penh on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Pin-striped Tit-Babbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Pin-striped Tit-Babbler sightings, Phnom Penh ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia, about 30%), Singapore (Singapore, about 20%) and Guwahati (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pin-striped Tit-Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Phnom Penh (13 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.
