Hodgsonius phoenicuroides
In 3 days <5%
The white-bellied redstart (Luscinia phaenicuroides) is a species of bird of the family Muscicapidae. It is found in Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam, where its natural habitat is temperate forests.
The white-bellied redstart was previously the only species in the genus Hodgsonius. A large molecular phylogenetic study published in 2010 found that the white-bellied redstart formed part of a clade that included the common nightingale. The species was therefore moved to Luscinia. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a White-bellied Redstart sighting in Doi Inthanon National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 351st most-seen of the 367 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 White-bellied Redstart in Doi Inthanon National Park 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 White-bellied Redstart sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate White-bellied Redstart sightings, Doi Inthanon National Park ranks 3rd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Jiuzhaigou National Park (China, under 5%) and Langtang National Park (Nepal, under 5%).
Same family: Muscicapidae
The closest relatives of the White-bellied Redstart that you can see in Doi Inthanon National Park (family Muscicapidae, Old World Flycatchers, Robins, and Chats) are Blue Whistling-Thrush (about 60%), White-browed Shortwing (about 40%) and Large Niltava (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-bellied Redstart is recorded against all the birds logged in Doi Inthanon National Park (6 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.
