The Annam limestone babbler (Gypsophila annamensis), also known as the khướu đá hoa in Vietnamese, is a species of bird in the family Pellorneidae. It is native to the limestone hills of northern Indochina. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the variable limestone babbler (G. crispifrons) but a 2020 study recovered it as a distinct species.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. International Ornithological Congress (January 23, 2021). "IOC World Bird List". Retrieved January 23, 2021.

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Annam Limestone Babbler sighting in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, based on 136 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 17th most-seen of the 159 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Annam Limestone Babbler in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, against about 20% in May, the lowest month. That is one of Cuc Phuong National Park's driest months, with about 50 mm of rain against 390 mm in August. July has too few records to rate.
Only Cuc Phuong National Park, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Annam Limestone Babbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Cuc Phuong National Park (136 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
