The lowland tiny greenbul (Phyllastrephus debilis), is a species of songbird in the bulbul family, Pycnonotidae. It is found in eastern Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
The lowland tiny greenbul was originally described in the genus Xenocichla (a synonym for Bleda). Until 2009, the montane tiny greenbul was considered as conspecific with the lowland tiny greenbul as the tiny bulbul. Some authorities continue to consider the two species as conspecific.

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Tiny Greenbul sighting in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 235th most-seen of the 250 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Tiny Greenbul in Gorongosa National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and May–November, the lowest months. March and December–January have too few records to rate.
Only Gorongosa National Park, in our data
Gorongosa National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Tiny Greenbul sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Tiny Greenbul is recorded against all the birds logged in Gorongosa 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.
