They have sharp bill tips and the sexes look alike. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Penduline-Tit sighting in Shanghai on a given day, based on 43 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 108th most-seen of the 202 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.
March
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Chinese Penduline-Tit in Shanghai on a given day, against under 5% in April to February, the lowest months.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Chinese Penduline-Tit 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 9
Of the 9 cities where we can rate Chinese Penduline-Tit sightings, Shanghai ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Jinan (China, about 10%), Tianjin (China, about 10%) and Beijing (China, under 5%).
Same order: Passeriformes
The closest relatives of the Chinese Penduline-Tit that you can see in Shanghai (order Passeriformes, Perching Birds) are Chinese Blackbird (about 90%), Light-vented Bulbul (about 90%) and Long-tailed Shrike (about 80%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Chinese Penduline-Tit is recorded against all the birds logged in Shanghai (43 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.
