Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a White-tailed Robin sighting in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, based on 87 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 159 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.
December and January
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a White-tailed Robin in Cuc Phuong National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, the lowest month. Those are among Cuc Phuong National Park's driest months, with about 60 mm of rain a month against 390 mm in August. July has too few records to rate.
Between 3 and 6 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-tailed Robin sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Yes
Of the 9 parks where we can rate White-tailed Robin sightings, Cuc Phuong National Park has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Taroko National Park (Taiwan, about 20%) and Doi Inthanon National Park (Thailand, about 10%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the White-tailed Robin that you can see in Cuc Phuong National Park (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are White-rumped Shama (about 40%), Rufous-tailed Robin (about 40%) and Fujian Niltava (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-tailed Robin is recorded against all the birds logged in Cuc Phuong National Park (87 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.
